CGI products created for the US, Asia, Europe, and Latin America on sites such as Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more.

Created with Maya, Nuke, and ZBrush. Traditional photography and studio lighting were recreated in the CGI environment. Models were made from the product in-hand, or pictures, or technical drawings.

I developed the pipeline for completing renders with Nuke compositing software. I built capabilities so many aspects could be completed in post, to increase efficiency, such as changing caps, changing colors, putting foil on labels, and more.

Listerine renders, for example, were created with a Nuke script that I developed to import the blank bottle, import the new label artwork (also used for the actual printed labels), and create the foil over the areas it needs - which varies between the product lines.
