    Apr 2022
    Got to work on digital doubles for Paramount+'s Star Trek Picard season 3. I was tasked with retopologizing and cutting up and rebuilding for animation 3D scans of Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart), Vadic (Amanda Plummer) and one of her goons. Picard's scan was of him fully clothed so I had to stitch and blend his head to the model of a naked older man, also ha to sculpt the body to better represent Patrick Stewart's more fit physique. For Vadic and her goon, after retopologizing, I had to separate parts of their costumes and rebuild and texture the missing areas so they could be animated.

    Introduction to Modo
    The Gnomon Workshop
    Dec 2010
    Luxology's Modo is one of the newer tools in the CG, Design and Architectural visualization world, but has quickly gained a wide user base. Modo is a very powerful polygonal and subdivision modeler that has a great texture painting and sculpting module, object animation tools and a superb renderer, all under a very intuitive and user-friendly interface. This DVD, with over six hours of material, explores the workflow and features in Modo. Jonathan starts out introducing the user interface and proceeds with how to efficiently create and organize scenes. The viewer can follow along as a scene is created and developed through modeling, manipulation, shader creation and setup for animation and rendering among other topics.
