Opening Environments
These are a few of the opening environments I built for Avatar: The Way of Water. I was responsible for pre-visualization, environment design and layout, as well as modeling and texturing key features such as the rock formations and floating mountains. I also created base materials and reusable assets to support the broader scenes for each when needed.
Major Contributions:
~ Solely responsible for the creation of these environments
~ Pre-visualization, blocking, modeling, and texturing of environment assets as needed
~ Full environment set dressing, including composition, scale, and spatial storytelling
~ Developed and fine-tuned lighting and atmospheric effects across all sets
~ Designed and dressed the Great HomeTree environment

Date Night
Date Night was a sequence that took place across a series of floating islands, and I had a lot of fun bringing it to life. I was responsible for designing the course that Jake and Neytiri fly through—shaping and placing all of the islands and waterfalls that guide their path. I also handled all of the lighting for these scenes. Dialing in the bioluminescence and spending long hours under the aurora while working on this set made it one of the most memorable parts of the project.
Major Contributions Include:
~ Responsible for the creation of the entire environment
~ Pre-visualization, blocking, modeling, and texturing of environment assets as needed
~ Full environment set dressing, including island and foliage placement
~ Designed and refined the lighting, atmosphere, bioluminescence, and aurora effects
~ Designed and dressed the waterfalls and vine-bridge, and crafted the full flight path for Jake and Neytiri

Metkayina Village
I was responsible for the village and root system layout for Metkayina. I worked on modeling and texturing all of the high detailed Mauri's and walkways, with more time focused on the Commons and Sully Mauri's. I also was responsible for all of the prop modeling, texturing and set dressing for the village.
Major Contributions Include:
~ Village and Root system layout
~ Mauri and Walkway design and texturing
~ Prop Modeling and Texturing

~ Pre-visualization, blocking, modeling, and texturing of environment assets as needed
~ Full environment set dressing
~ Designed and refined the underwater lighting and water for this sequence
~ 3D Modeling and Texturing the Gorgonian corals as well as hundreds of other coral used across all of the underwater shots
