Tearing cloth simulation, skin ripple effect. Also rigged several vehicles for destruction on this film.

Hair & cloth simulation, prop destruction simulation and deformer based prop animation. Worked as part of a remote cross-site team on this project.

Hair & cloth simulation. Wing simulation & setup (cloth based). Ripping wing simulation. Deformer based finagling.

CaterBus (full body), Smidge, and Big Guy hair & fur grooming, rigging, and simulation setup. Smidge utilized a setup that gave animation tools make key poses, and a simulation setup that would happen on top of that, allowing us to heavily art direct the performance.

Smidge hair grooming & development setup, shot simulation and growth deformation. In shot animated styling adjustments made to achieve desired effect. Also simulated clothing.

Hair & cloth simulation. Wind effect. Hair growth effect. Card particle simulation.

Hair grooming, rigging, and simulation setup for Baby Troll, Young Peppy (hair, eyebrows, and mustache), and Old Peppy. Hair & cloth simulation. Hair interaction.

Young & Old King hair grooming, rigging, and simulation setup. In shot hair & cloth simulation.

One-off Bergen Child Hair groom, utilizing a "greasy" effect. Hair & cloth simulation on all characters. Rope & net simulation.

Bridget hair grooming, rigging, and simulation setup. Both clean and messy versions. The main hair groom from the film was maintained, while adding additional hair extensions. I modeled all curves from scratch, and pitched the overall look to the art and production team. Worked closely with surfacing to come up with a way to paint the color so it wouldn't get lost in the interpolation of the messy version.

In shot hair & cloth simulation. Streamer simulation. Deformer based prop animation.

Old Peppy hair grooming, rigging, and simulation setup.

Hair and cloth simulation.

This shot involved about a dozen one-off characters that I created full hair & fur grooms for, and simulated without fully developed setups. I utilized a Houdini system I built to for portability between differing characters.

Slushious Car dynamic simulation rig. Involved soft and rigid objects that all moved based the overall animation of the car.

Hair & Cloth simulation. Wind effect. Hair interacts with cloth.

Grandma cloth garment development. This involved a unique setup to allow simulation and also custom animation of the gator tail and legs.

In shot simulation of all cloth and hair.

One-off Turkey Decoy cloth setup. Character consisted of individual moving leaves.

Wet hair simulation.

Flowers, particle simulation.

Tar, fluid simulation.

Cloth simulation often involving fast moving flying, wind, and other heavily art directed cape movement.

One-off bag cloth simulation. Face deformer finaling.

Money particle simulation.

Worked as part of a part of a small remote cross-site team.

Cloth simulation with weightless gravity effect.

Deformer prop animation (bow), and rope (cloth) simulation.

Transformation effect.

Fly rigid animation rig.

Wolf rigs.

Wolf fur simulation.

Chain simulation. Soda ring simulation (cloth) and deformer based animation.

The follow-up shot to earlier.

This shot involved about a dozen one-off characters that I created full hair & fur grooms for, and simulated without fully developed setups. I utilized a Houdini system I built to for portability between differing characters.
