Perimeter X: Bad Bot

Client: XYZ, Perimeter X

Tools: Maya, Zbrush

I did: concept, modeling, UV.

This guy was an interesting design challenge- he has 6 arms total, all the better to hack into people’s websites with. Still no match for Perimeter X though!

This guy was used in a commercial to illustrate the dangers of being scared to change in a digital world. CA Technologies was then bought out by another company, but this bug eyed bird will be remembered forever. Or at least for awhile. By a few.

For what though?

Storyboards

Whether done in 2d or 3d, storyboarding is an essential part of any production in which time and money are of concern. Most clients I’ve met are at least concerned with one of the two! Here are a few samples of storyboards I’ve done.
