The Iconoclasts - Finalist - Pixar Renderman Art Challenege 2021
The Iconoclasts was a really wonderful challenge. It was amazing to work with two of industry's icons, Renderman Teapot and Substance's Mat chacaters. The overall development and progress still makes me wonder how it all came together and there are certainly so many more things I would work on in the coming future. It was an incredible journey. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot.
Thanks to Renderman team for such an amazing challenge and congratulations to all the winners.

I made a custom bifrostGraph to covert and make clouds. These are fluffy volume objects that can then be exported to vdbs to be rendered later.
I also made a custom Bifrost Graph in Maya to scatter grass variants and bake them into instances for later.
