Final Composite

I ran out of time for this assignment, but in the later I'm going to fill the glass with water, drop it, and let it shatter. Should be pretty sweet.

Sheriff Title WIP

This is a work in progress, but it is coming along. Eventually there will be a bird that flies into the scene, lands on the letters, when some dude tries to shoot the bird. Obviously he misses (or does he?), hitting the letters. You'll have to stay tuned to find out whether or not the bird gets it in the end.

I sim-ed out the bullet holes with dust and debris in Houdini using my custom tool. I brought the sim-ed files into Maya and rendered with Prman, (the dust was rendered as a separate layer using Mantra). I composited it in After Effects and added some additional cracks and breaks. Feedback is always appreciated.

Bullet Tool test render

I made this tool in Houdini for procedural bullet holes. Rendered with Mantra, composited in After Effects.

"Sheriff" Dust Simulation v2

Rough Composite v2

Break Down

Used Maya to model the boot. Used Houdini for all the FX. Used After Effects to composite.

Procedural Shader

Modeled in Maya. Shader was made 100% procedurally and rendered with Renderman.

For Rob and Kelly

I didn't use the correct camera, but I'll do one with fur later.

Teleport test

This is a quick test done in After Effects. The background plate is busy and not properly lit, but you get the idea. This can probably be done better in Houdini, new version coming soon.
