Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)Developed artist tools for MaterialX adoption, with contributions back to open source codebase; designed and implemented pipeline for automatic mocap retargeting and publish to our studio library; development on photogrammetry toolsetsThe Mandalorian (2019)Created tools for texture optimization for use in real-time environment; wrote plugins for Unreal for integration into the studio pipeline.Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)Damage variation toolset, contributed to custom RV pluginsReady Player One (2018)Developed tools for casting/tracking creatures to mocap performances across the sequence; designed and implemented a browsable mocap database; developed workflows for automating matte extraction and QC for the DI

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)Created layout tools to simplify construction, placement, and procedural lookdev of architectural elements in Maya.TMNT2: Out of the Shadows (2016)Developed tools to automate stereo comp deliveries to client; electricity FX element R&DStar Trek: Beyond (2016)Designed and wrote API for queueing Python and Bash commands to be executed across multiple shots; created suite of tools based on this API for bulk modification, update, and submission of Nuke and Katana files; added automatic imageplane conversion on the render farm. Deadpool (2016)Wrote Python traffic simulation software in Maya for animators to quickly and easily populate city streets; created automatic process to merge fx RBD sims back into animation caches on publish; wrote OTLs to integrate Houdini into the Shotgun pipeline; various artist tools support in modeling, animation, character fx, fx, surfacing, lighting, and compositing; added render farm notifications into Slack.

B.O.O. (Unreleased)Developed Mari/Houdini bridge for surfacing artists to generate physically-based effects; integrated fx assets into surfacing pipeline; built toolset to visualize motion graphics from layout through lighting; Mari plugin development; wrote validation tests for surfaced assets to ensure smooth delivery into lighting; debugged production frames within our in-house lighting tool.Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)Scripted dynamic surfacing effects; debugged renders for surfacing (both in visdev and production frames) including hair, translucency, and UV changes from character fx/rigging; assisted fx with look issues in production frames; baked preview surfacing from layout and anim; visdev shot setup for surfacing artists.

Character, hair, and prop rigging; shader development; formalized art asset pipeline to include source control and bug tracking, as well as a web frontend for asset preview and automated art content build and delivery system; wrote configurable command line renderer which cut down asset delivery from hours to minutes; built Maya toolkit used by animation team that integrated Maya with source control and increased animator efficiency; created installer to easily onboard new animators and partner teams with required software and environment.
