Shrek Forever After — Hayyim Sanchez : CG Texture Artist

For this show I was responsible for the visual development of the shaders, materials and texture maps various environments, characters, and props.

I surfaced the royal carriage

The carriage required the creation of several interesting materials including velvet and gold leaf.

Here we can see some of the interior as well.

I surfaced much of the dry swamp environment

For the dry version of the swamp we needed to create several versions of the dry cat tails, then scatter the geometry on the ground plane with our fur system. I also surfaced the cracked mud ground and the dry version of Shrek's house.

Adjustments were made 'in shot' to unify the textures of the house asset with the textures of the ground plane. The dry grass was styled by binding the dry grass geometry to large, un rendered spires of fur in a process we call 'clumping'. This technique is used frequently to drive the shape and direction of fur and grass.
