Transformers: Dark of the Moon (ILM 2011)

2012-01-15T17:05:00.000-08:00

ILM! this is the reason I haven't posted anything here for a entire year, I was hired by ILM in july 2010, and I have been busy since then.

Here you can see the open sequence of the movie, I also worked on other shots, but this sequence was the main thing where I spent most of my time.

What I did? Modeling, texturing, shading, lightning, rendering, and some early composition, just to make sure all the passes were working fine, I did the environment for 5 shots.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed II E3 Trailer (Blur Studio 2010)

2012-01-15T16:01:00.000-08:00

Another Star Wars Cinematic! I had a lot of fun working on this one, specially because is based on the original trilogy universe, Darth Vader, the stormtroopers etc...it was awesome!

What I did?: My main task in this one was to create the main environment, the Hangar, I did modeling, texturing, shading, and some early lighting as well, I also had the chance to do some lighting and compositing, just for two shots.

Plus, I offered to Blur a model of a stormtrooper I had almost finish at home, they did some modifications and changes for the final cinematic, but we could say the trooper is 75% mine, 80% maybe? :), I don't know, but it was great to see it finished in a piece like this one, specially when I'm not even a character modeler.
