I created custom procedural patterns and textures in Substance Designer, which I used as alphas in Substance Painter to develop all surface details. I worked on all hero assets, building UVs and UDIM workflows in Maya, and handled rendering and look development in Redshift and Houdini. I was responsible for the lookdev of five hero characters, their props, and most assets for the desert sequence. I also contributed to lighting and rendering in several other shots.
As a Houdini Technical Director, I developed custom HDAs to generate rock formations for the desert scenes and built another HDA to streamline shader creation for all hero characters. This tool managed hundreds of UDIMs and texture sets designed in Substance Painter, significantly speeding up my workflow.
This project was a great opportunity to deepen my skills in Houdini HDA development and environment creation.
