June 1st, 2009.



Today Blur Studio's biggest cinematic for E3 was made public (click on the link above to see it). While I was hired as a Scene Assembler
and FX artist, for this project to allow me to get used to the pipeline I was assigned FX only. I was originally assigned to do four
shots but ran a bit ahead of schedule so ended up doing some work on a fifth shot. The first two shots I had involved the
female bounty hunter shooting fire from her wrists.



The third shot was of a Sith jumping high up in the air, landing on the ground causing the floor to break
in a shockwave patter. This was created using Rayfire (fantastic 3ds max plugin). Mixed in with that was
particles with instanced geometry. The laser fire was a mixture of a preset and some distortion in fusion.



The last two shots you can view below. I did the impact on the pillar as well the smoke effects
in the shot of the Jedi Master sliding on the ground .



For the next project I am meant to be doing both Scene Assembly (lighting) and FX which
I am very much looking forward to. Hope you enjoyed the trailer!
