|Magic Crystal Teaser

This is a very nice feature film.

I already worked on the teaser a couple of years ago in CartoonOne-Rome.

Below the shot in which I worked on.

Basil-Sq4-Magic Crystal

For this shot I was in charge to do the Lighting, Shading, Texturing as well as the compositing in Shake.

Now I’m working as freelance for Studio SUMATRA (Viareggio-Italy) and I’m following the modelling stage as HighPolyAssetSupervisor.

Basically I’m doing a modelling check with continuous retakes to keep a good polygons density in the geometry, and preparing each object with the best unfolded UV as well as the best UV’s cuts.

I’m doing a meticoulos check in the geometry seeking out triangles, N-Gones and all that the guys have forgotten as well as give them tips as “problem solving”..
