Over the past few months I have been flushing out ideas for a modelling toolbox of python scripts and maya shelf for the modelling team.  Now, with all this free time at work, it is nearly done and the focused time to work on it has allowed me to learn many new things about python and coding best practices.

The Thing (Production done, Releasing Oct 2011) is a prequel to John Carpenters 1982 flick of the same name. The prequel is sure to give a few nightmares with its line up of  gory part human creatures. To give you an idea, we were all given a picture of a cute bunny with instructions to look at it regularly for sanity before starting work on The Thing.

District 9 was a very rewarding movie to work on. Neil Blomkamp was great to work with as he was a very decisive director and his ideas were a lot of fun to realize!

The Losers was a great opportunity to brush up on my attention to detail. With a truck, jet and several props that were all featured full screen and all needed to match their live counterparts from cut to cut there was no room for missing even the smallest details.

Overall, it was a great project and I have to give kudos to the asset team because we did it with no overtime!

Balrog is definitely my fvorite creature from the Lord of the Rings so to brush up on my zbrush know-how I Spent a couple nights whipping this up.

I don’t think I’ve ever had to model something in a shorter period of time. There were many sleepless nights involved on this project, but it was damn fun!
