The Shrinking of Treehorn
- Assets Technical Director / Assets Assembly @ Animal Logic
Unreleased
Toto
- Assets Technical Director / Assets Assembly @ Animal Logic
This film was in look development when I worked on it and I was involved in finding the best methods of handling asset authoring and maintaning of extremely large and dense scenes contributed to heavily by large numbers of procedural assets.
Unreleased
Released on Netflix
I handled the asset management process on the film for the Assets Departments.
On the Magicians Elephant any custom renders required for the client or internal reviews were handled by myself and the internal tool I developed.
This included setting up custom scenarios to allow wip shot work to be viewed in isolation, have characters in various costumes and with props for easy AB testing between styles and versions. Chunking of Data to allow the large sets with huge quantities of trees to be handled.
See below for some context shots.
