This is one of those projects that warms up my soul when I recall the times working on it. It was recognized by the academy with an oscar nomination, which I think it should've won(with a tiny amount of bias). I'm extremely grateful to all the people involved(Especially to my mentor, friend and co-founder of BottleshipVFX- Martin Naydenski and my fellow 3d artists Alex Koshejiiski and Stella Kamburova), for the passion, love, care and trust that went into crafting this intimate piece of art.
I am responsible for lighting and rendering of all shots produced by BottleshipVFX, water fx simulation in the shot where the beetle lands next to Marcel, modelling and look dev of the beetle, texturing and look dev of the ant and some additional look dev on the tomato, ladybug and spiders. The modelling work on my side was done in blender, the fx in houdini, the look dev, lighting and rendering in Katana/Vray.
