Star Wars Super Teams

My role: 3D Storyboarding • Retopology • 3D Modeling • Texturing • Animation • Rendering
Collaboration: Production studio for final editing & motion design.

🎬 Final Teaser (published)
Version released by the studio, enhanced with motion design, editing, and additional visual effects.

✨ My delivered version (pre-edit)
Render and Animation I provided to the studio, prior to their final touch editing and motion design work.

🔧 CREATION PROCESS

Retopology & Adaptation: The two example videos demonstrate my retopology of the figurines and faithful adaptation of the physical game elements.

Modeling & Texturing:
I developed detailed 3D models and applied PBR textures. This workflow was particularly efficient, as it allowed me to accelerate the storyboard and layout process by reusing the same 3D models for the following stages, including storyboarding, animation and rendering.

3D Storyboarding
Developed an animated storyboard (Animatic 3D) to define staging and camera angles.

This video presents an early stage of the production process through the animatic.

Animation & Rendering:
Animated the figurines, refined technical settings, and delivered optimized renders for studio integration.
(Examples: Key Pose • Raw Render)

Technical Notes:

I used all along the creation of this trailer many softwares I really enjoyed !

Deliverables: optimized models, PBR textures, animation sequences, EXR/MP4 renders

Organization: clearly versioned files with consistent naming conventions for seamless studio integration

I have a strong affinity for buggy cars, so I created this buggy from scratch using various reference pictures of this type of vehicle. I used Blender for all the polygon modeling and UV mapping processes, and I utilized Substance 3D for baking the input maps and texturing. Additionally, I used ZBrush to sculpt parts with higher levels of detail to incorporate into the normal map. I created the number plate graphics in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I also experimented with some HDR environment maps and performed 3D rendering using Iray. My goal was to replicate the sparkling blue paint of the reference cars I used.

Here is a collectible I created from scratch based on my own concept art and love for this character, using ZBrush. Dragon Ball Z is one of my favorite childhood anime series, and I had a great time sculpting this piece in 2014; it’s one of my older works. I remember struggling at that time to create the cloud in 3D because there were only 2D references available, and there weren't many merchandise items or collectibles of Son Goku molded back then.

I created the miniatures for this released game based on the specifications I was provided.

Here is the Lapin Crétin I created based on the famous Ubisoft game character, which I like very much! I wanted to reproduce Ubisoft's techniques and art style to create another course for the Art and 3D class I teach. This presentation showcases the full process: I used ZBrush for sculpting, retopology, and UV mapping; texturing in Substance 3D; rigging and skinning in Blender; and finally, I created a short animated sequence in Unreal Engine 5, incorporating some post-processing effects to enhance the clip's appeal. I also handled the video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, adding the original soundtrack from the Raving Rabbids that I downloaded

I designed the central piece of the game, the metal-cast medallion, based on the specifications I received and my own concept art. I utilized 3D sculpting and printing technologies, along with my traditional art and molding skills. Additionally, I designed the back of the cards and the token illustrations to match the medallion.

I created this gramophone using Houdini SideFX, as I wanted to explore Houdini's techniques for low poly modeling with nodes, in contrast to the 3D polygon modeling in Blender or Maya that I typically use. This was during my time learning procedural techniques in Houdini. I then proceeded with unwrapping the UVs, also in Houdini, and used Substance 3D for baking the input maps, such as normal maps, curvature, ambient occlusion, etc., and for texturing. Finally, I utilized Marmoset Toolbag for real-time rendering and MViewer, which I should embed here, as well as Adobe Premiere Pro for the Ken Burns presentation and turntable. I chose the delightful "Petite Fleur" music by the soloist and composer Sidney Bechet.

Sonic Super Teams

I created all the miniatures for this Sonic tabletop game, released in Europe, using 3D sculpting and printing technologies, combined with my traditional art and molding skills. I also completed the retopology of the meshes for these 8 characters and handled the texturing to support the teaser.

I'm happy to share this 3D asset I created in ZBrush and Substance 3D. Once again, I chose an object to teach my students some hard surface techniques and procedural texturing. Here is the final visual version of the related course, rendered in Iray and Marmoset Toolbag. During my classes, I demonstrate the entire process using a video projector, and for online teaching, everything I explain is directly visible through screen sharing.

Here is a low-poly car I sculpted based on my own concept art, which you can see at the bottom of this page. I created a model sheet inspired by my concept art directly in Adobe Photoshop, and then I used it as a base for sculpting in ZBrush. After that, I checked the retopology and UV mapping, and I prepared all the materials in Autodesk Maya before exporting the mesh to Substance 3D. I then baked the input maps and textured it. The goal of the tutorial I created for my school was to teach the Bitmap mask techniques and demonstrate how to work with Adobe Photoshop in combination with Substance 3D, along with effective ZBrush techniques and workflow organization.

Here is another collectible I created from scratch in ZBrush. I used Unreal Engine 5 and its sequencer to produce the 3D turntable presented here.
