I had fun working on this project. I think throughout my career in Post Production this is my top favorite of all. We were tasked with designing a rock golem which was similar to the one in The Neverending Story but midway through completion of the model we were told to change it into something more menacing but still kid friendly.
This was an opportunity for me to get some creative freedom despite having references to be close to. Overall a fun project.
I was responsible for modeling, texturing,shading,lighting and rendering the rock golem and from this project I learned that maybe I should have used a decimated model in order to preserve detail as compared to relying on displacement maps which didn't quite work well during the close ups.
