Visual Effects

I work as a visual effects artist at Mutiny FX in Bentonville, AR. Here's some of my work (highlight reel also includes work from the whole company).

 
Sometimes the people who own the filming location don't want you to burn it down in real life. - #mutinyfx #visualeffects #setextension #eyeballplant #vfxcompositing #vfx #blender #blender3d #blendervfx #breakdown #vfxbreakdown

These vfx shots were split up between 5-6 people along the various stages with some overlap in duties. One person customized models from Turbosquid and did the layout for neighborhood sections, others modeled some of the larger buildings, someone else modeled the city gate, and someone else organized character animations so I could import them into my backgrounds. I modeled and textured the palace, did the overall layout of the city, created the landscape, lighting, and final compositing. - #vfx #mutinyfx #visualeffects #vfxgeneralist #eyeballplant #3denvironment #3d #blender3d #blendercycles #ancientcity #ancientpalace
More palace shots. Different angles and times of day.

Blender Tip: if your camera is animated, use a mist pass instead of a Z pass. A mist pass will gradually move with the camera, but a z pass will have obvious stepping as the camera moves past objects and resets what's nearest and farthest away. Also, as long as there's no lens or motion blur, you can set the samples to all the way down to 1 if you're just rendering depth. - #blender #blender3d #renderpass #blendercycles #blendertip #depthpass #zpass #mistpass #3d #vfx #visualeffects #mutinyfx
