    ROOF Studio

    March 2017 - March 2017

    I was responsible to help develop Charlie (the three eared rabbit). The director already had a few designs done by other artists and I was in charge to combine them in a way that fit all the other designs already approved (both characters and envioraments). I also helped solving some of the character's technical difficulties like it's huge mouth which should be able to go from a small size to something that fills most of his face. I ended up modeling some extreme blendshapes that unfortunately weren't used in the final scenes.
    In adittion to this I also modeled the doctor, the rabbit plush, the mannequin and did the final versions of the MRI machine and the spaceship.
