A Tribute to Disney’s Brother Bear.

I've always been a sucker for a good Disney film. So, when one of my good friends, Michelle Sharp (who's also a huge Disney fan), asked me to collaborate on a piece together, we knew a piece inspired by one of their movies would be within the cards. Michelle is an FX artist, and my focus is in lighting and look development. So, to showcase our abilities, we decided on a shot that was inspired by a transformation scene from "Brother Bear". On my end, this was a piece in exploring lighting and shading VFX for animation, and experimenting with magical / "staged" lighting. Michelle created the particle, FLIP, smoke, and growth FX for this shot.  I was responsible for modeling, lookdev, lighting, and compositing. To accomplish this piece we used Houdini, Zbrush, Substance Painter, Redshift, and Nuke.
