Summary
FAQs
Can you work with our existing models?
Yes. I can take grey-box models from your modeling department and handle everything from texturing to the final render.
Do you do stylized or photoreal?
I am comfortable with both. I can execute highly detailed photorealism for product/film or stylized non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) for animation.
How do you handle render times?
I optimize shaders and sampling settings in Redshift to ensure the highest quality visual output with the most efficient render times possible. I also have access to an online cloud rendering solution for heavy renders.
Can you match a specific reference?
Yes. Lighting matching is a core skill. I can replicate the mood, color, and intensity of any reference image or live-action plate you provide.
Do you handle compositing?
Yes. I don't just hit render. I use Nuke or Photoshop to grade, balance, and polish the final image to professional standards.
