Shrek the Third — Hayyim Sanchez : CG Texture Artist

On this show I was tasked with surfacing many props, and environments. I used the art department's designs to create all the maps and shader networks required to bring the assets to life visually.

I created the lipstick material

Then FX animated a mask, creating the sense of application.

I surfaced the mascot heads and hands

I needed to make them look like they were crudely made, but still hold up as well made CG assets.

I surfaced the fire pit

The glow is created by animating some low frequency orange and red noise into the ambient attribute of the fire center material.

I surfaced the drum

I surfaced the plank

I surfaced the rope netting

We still modeled in nurbs, so getting all the knots and straight bits to have functional UVs was tricky. Once we had that, I just got some dif and dsp maps to tile into the twisting shapes.

I surfaced the book

I surfaced the signs and the puppet theater

I also used a material shader on the curtain. This allows for anisotropic behavior in the specular of the fabric so it looks velvety.

More anisotropic hi-lites

I surfaced the alley way set

I also got to add the graffiti on the wall in back. All my family members are represented back there in some sneaky way or another.

I surfaced the boat and instruments

Closing credit

Since the movie introduced the new Shrek babies, bits from an ogre nursery were used to display end credits. I did a couple of them.

A bowl of gruel

A simple prop do show what I can do.

More gruel!

Yumm!

Merlin's Drum

A vdev image of the drum I showed earlier.

Griffin Head

A Dragon Head

Another one of the papier mache heads in vdev.

Pinocchio's Theater

Here is a vdev render of the puppet theater I showed earlier. All maps and shaders by myself.

Antoniso's Credit

This is a vdev render of the credit asset that I did. I even used a real eye shader for the creepy eyeball making the letter 'o'. Lots of subsurface scattering on the bug bits as well.
