Full Animation

This is an animation I worked on with a group in graduate school. I was in charge or the placement of the mushrooms through the cave, the modeling of the cave and lighting up the spiral of mushrooms throughout the cave. All of the models were created using a combination of mudbox and maya, the mushrooms were scattered throughout the scene using xgen and nuke was used to light up the mushrooms throughout the scene.

I worked on this project with 2 other graduate students Emily Harris and Jessica Ross at Texas A&M University in their Visualization program.
