Walking with Dinosaurs 3D
I was Lead Character and Environment Modeller for this project which spanned nearly 3 years. Although the finished film didn't meet the original goal, I was able to work with an amazing modelling team who helped bring to life over 20 beautiful creatures and two huge full cg environments. The project involved working very closely with Palaeontologists, Art Department, Rigging Department, and Surfacing Department to create all these different dinosaurs. Each dinosaur had an advanced skin and muscle system laid over a skeletal system. The Surfacing team developed an in-house tool called Reptile which added all the scales to the dinosaurs. No lame displacement maps here, these were fully sliding and interlocking scales.
