Pleased to share recent news of us at Pixeldust Studios receiving 3 Emmy nominations for "Ancient Oceans" show at the 62nd Emmy Awards on May 14, 2020! I was nominated for animation work! Congrats also to rest of the team who worked on Ancient Oceans!! This program was produced for Curiosity Stream and showcases our strongest services ranging from production of original content, to photoreal creature animation and complex underwater worlds. This show time travels into a bygone era of abundant prehistoric life in the oceans where monstrous predators emerged!
I was responsible for leading a brand new lightning fast realtime rendering GPU pipeline using mainly Unity HDRP, Unreal Engine and RTX technology which bid goodbye to traditional render farm! 80% of the cg shots were accomplished from start to finish under one hood, including real-time shading, lighting, and compositing in 4k! I also supervised the 3d animaton/vfx team from all stages previz to final lighting & compositing.
