Beige’s Musical Day Dream

Character Creation, Modeling, Shading and Visual Effects

Beige is a character that I developed during the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. He was an excuse to practice illustration, 2D animation, color studies, etc. During the spring of 2023, I partnered with Agastya Warrior to create a 3D short film about a musical day dream Beige has. I focused on the modeling, the shading and the effect creation. Agastya focused on the rigging, animation and compositing. We collaborated in the development of the story and the editing.

Modeled in Maya and simulated in Houdini. Rendered in Redshift.
