Alright time for a new update, I am so slow with this. I am still working as a junior 3D generalist at Gimmick VFX, and learning new stuff everyday. It is still challenging and has its tiring and frustrating moments, but still enjoyable as well. Especially being able to see the completed results after weeks of hard work. There has been several releases since my last post so here comes all the last videos I participated in the production of. There was a lot of challenges lately since we recently switched from vray to redshift. So our whole shading library has been converted and tweaked several times through this projects.

The videos are sorted from the most recent project first and oldest work at the bottom, the oldest one was rendered in vray all the other ones was in redshift.

I have participated to various degrees with the videos. Common for all of them is that I assigned the shaders, connected up the textures and miscellaneous fixes when needed, but I will add some lines about what I personally did for each movie under each.

In this one I tidied up in background making sure it looked right through each shot. Adding stuff and removing stuff according to what was needed.

Same as above.

Same as above.

Here I made and exporting skyplanes for the background, so houdini artist could make the galaxy and then I imported each one back into maya to render.

In this movie I modelled the metal thing to the right.

Here I helped with some asset building.

Here I exported alembics for the water effect.

Same environment as the one two vids above.

In this video I built the background and some of the assets, satt up the scene and rendered it out.

For this movie I textured the background and assets, satt up the scene with the assets, lighted the scene and rendered it. This was my first time setting up lighting (well in a professional setting), and as can be seen there is definitely potential for improvement, but the shading library was also adjusted a lot after this luckily as everything seems a bit to shiny.

That was it for now I will try to update more soon. It will soon be summer holiday and my contract expires so we will see where I end up afterwards. At the moment I am enjoying the early summer weather that has surprised us here in Copenhagen. This is the warmest Mai/ start of June in many years so it has been a bit heavy in work with a boiling office.
