I had the privilege of contributing to Tendril Studio's work on the 2022 League of Legends: Wild Rift Icons music video (Watch here).
My role involved creating custom procedural patterns, textures in Substance Designer, which I utilized as alphas to develop all textures in Substance Painter. I also worked on all hero assets, creating UVs/UDIM workflows in Maya and handled rendering and look development using Redshift and Houdini. I was responsible for the Lookdev of 5 hero characters and their props and most of the assets for the Desert sequence. finally i helped on the lighting and render of some other shots.
Additionally, I worked as a Houdini Technical Director (TD), developing custom Houdini HDA tools to create rock structures for the desert scenes. I also created another HDA to streamline shader creation for all hero characters, efficiently managing a large number of UDIMs and texture sets that I had designed in Substance Painter. This significantly optimized my workflow, enabling a faster and more seamless process.
This project provided an excellent opportunity to refine and enhance my skills in Houdini HDA development and environment creation.
