Vader: A Star Wars Theory Fan Series - Episode 1: Shards of the Past
From October - December 2018, I have been working as a 3D Artist for Episode 1 of Vader: A Star Wars Theory web series, Titled "Shards of the Past".
On this project I have used Autodesk Maya, Photoshop, After Effects, ZBrush, and Substance Painter.
Massive thanks to Director Danny Ramirez who took me on board for the project, and to CG Supervisor Gaetan Lancelle, Ruben Brouns, and Tim Forsgen for their work on lookdev, lighting, texturing and compositing.

Final shot of the film, which utilised the hole asset I created.
Another screenshot of the final scenes of the film.
On my first day working on the series I began blocking in the hole, getting it to match the on-set footage.

Here I began creating additional rubble near the hole, and also experimenting to see how rebar may look, which ultimately was left out.
Once the main form was In I began texturing the smaller rocks, careful that it matched the look of the on-set dust.
Pictured is a wireframe render, showcasing the CG elements I made. NOTE: I made everything in this shot except the cables and cable clamps.
Here is how my 3D assets appear in the final film.
I also did additional work on the credits, creating title cards (such as the one pictured) and changing formatting in accordance to previous Star Wars films.
I also gained an IMDb credit for my work on the series as a 3D artist and additional credits.
