Haymaker Surfacing

I had the privilege of being the lead surfacing artist for the independent short film "Haymaker", and I am so proud of what the team was able to accomplish in so short a time span. The most distinct thing about this short are the hand-painted normal maps for all of our assets. I developed the surfacing style of the short over the course of several months in pre-production until it finally felt like what we were looking for. Working in an original style is full of challenges both forseen and unforseen, but in the end I'm proud of what we created. Rendered in Arnold.
