Complete 3D CGI products and renders created for ecommerce/the digital shelf/digital twins.

Featured on Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more. NA, APAC, EMEA, and LATAM markets.

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.

This reel is full of work of varying roles, with CGI and design, and work for great talented studios such as Taylor James, Transistor Studios, and more.
