  Rendering/Compositing Pipeline Builder (MachStudioPro/Nuke)

  Delacave

  October 2010 - November 2010

  I've made many python scripts (in MachStudioPro, Nuke, Windows) to build a reliable, automated pipeline through the whole lighting/rendering/compositing process. Including numerous tools to make the work of the artists faster, smoother and more reliable. Some examples :
  - Scripts to autoname lights and lights rigs from a given group of objects in order to clarify lighters work.
  - Script to generate LightMask from tagged lights or name conventions.
  - id shader with consistent colors over all shots of the project and ability to select object, element or material in nuke with this single pass.
  - All filepaths script driven
  - Autoload all passes of each layers of a split EXR including template for common processes.
  - Nuke tool to access in few clicks to any shot of the pipe to match.
  and many Nuke tools including Relighting with faked shadows from depth, gradient masks from point position pass, ...

  Delacave Studio

  September 2007 - November 2008

  CG feature film "The True Story of Puss 'n' Boots" directed by Pascal Herold, Jérôme Deschamps, Macha Makeïeff
  
  --- Developing Rendering/Compositing Pipeline ---
  - in close relation with R&D departement to conduct the lighting toolset and especially the whole pass/layer management for the inhouse realtime/gpu accelerated rendering software.
  - creating worflow and macros on Fusion.
  
  --- Supervising a team of 12 lighters/compositors ---
  - the set's lighting was baked, so concerning the lighting i was responsible mainly of the characters. But as the pipeline has made massively use of compositing, there's a great amount of relighting on the sets (not to mention day to night, or day to evening relights) to enhance the look on a per shot basis, or to adapt a new artistical direction.
  
  --- Managing the color process til the color grading ---
  - color grading on 'Autodesk Smoke'
