Polly Pocket Adventure Studio 2023

I have worked on this project as lead 3d artist for the episodes 02 to 14. I was in charge of directing a team of 5 modelers and assign to them props, characters, environments that had to be modeled by them and by me in deadlines of 1 to 4 days per task. Also I was in direct contact with the Rigging and Layout team in order to validate that everything that were delivered by the team were fully functional. Addition to my lead role, I had to fix, polish, adjust or give solutions to different shots that needed some FX like particles, clouds, basic rigs and so on. During my direction, the modeling team was able to finish successfully 13 episodes without any major delay.
My overall workflow was composed of different tools accordingly to the assigned task, like 3ds max for architectural, spline modeling and particles (tyflow); Blender for modeling organic surfaces, retopo and volume FX; Substance Painter for everything related to textures and PBR workflow ; Zbrush for sculpting and retopology and finally Maya that was the main tool were everything was integrated, so there I had to work in materials, shading, UVs, some basic rigging ( props), blocking and layout.

PS: The modeling team was composed of a blender artist, a Zbrush artist a 3ds max artist and two Maya artists, so I had to give support to all of them on each of their main tools and in some cases, guide them to fluently migrate their workflows to Maya.

For this episode I have modeled the Panda Hooper vehicle completely from scratch in Blender, then I textured it in substance painter and finally it was integrated in Maya/Redshift for rendering.

For this shot I have modeled the leaves and working in the layout, camera and full composition of the shot. The leaves were created in 3ds max (tyflow) and exported to Maya were it was textured and rendered.
