'The Enchanted Island' Teaser

Tool and pipeline development for a animation feature film teaser production.

I joined the production team as an Pipeline Technical Director. I helped pushing the existing pipeline forward by adding features like:

  • Offline Alembic caching
  • Scene management tools
  • Yeti cache handling tools
  • Video conversion shell scripts

Additionally, I developed a animatable pose-space deformation tool to support the animation team with on-the-fly blendeshape creation during the animation process. This workflow helped the creation of high level animations as well supporting the cartoon style required by the production a lot.

Tools
