STARDUST TV - NYC - 3D Models, Shaders, and Rigging

For StarDust in NYC, I contributed to the production of three television spots. One was for Trident Gum. The other two were for Black Rock Investment management.

For Black Rock, I cleaned up models, added elements to the characters like hair, and wrote the cartoon shader for the characters. I also modeled some elements for the sets.

For Trident Gum, the commercial took place under water, and I used Maya Paint Effects to model seaweed and coral structures, which I rigged and made ready to be imported into the main scene,

JET BLUE / BLISS SPA - 3D Production for Flash Animation

This was a spot done for the in-flight advertising Jet Blue flights, for Bliss Spa Products. It was created at Animation Collective in NYC. My contribution was to create a plane in 3D, with the proper look, and hand-off animated swf files, that capture the right angle for the shot.
