I worked on Pacific Rim: Uprising as a core Jaeger modeler together with an amazing team at Dneg. I was lucky enough to put my hands on every Jaeger in the film. It is hard to describe all my responsibilities. Briefly, my tasks varied a lot from pure modeling robot parts to developing workflows how to cope with massive assets counting thousands of geometries and hundreds of UDIMs and managing them. I also did complete redesign of Guardian Bravo's head, designed inner 'skeletons' for correct movements, made motion studies and base models for a lot of weapons etc.
Entire project was an effort of hundreds talented artists in Dneg and it was my pleasure to be part of it.
