My name is Pedro and I am a 3D artist focused on Surfacing, Lighting, and Rendering.
I had the chance to develop my 3D skills by working on different projects for over a decade, ranging from Photorealism to Stylized Animation shows.
Welcome to my 3D world! Scroll down to discover some of the work I have done so far in my career.
I recently had the great opportunity of working Lighting and Compositing artist on "Sausage Party: Foodtopia" , created by Seth Rogen.
This project was a fun and wild ride which gave me the opportunity to expand my skills as a 3D Lighting artist.
I joined a team of wonderful and talented professionals of the animation industry and was exposed to high end industry standard tools such as Katana (3D Lighting software) and Pixar Renderman .
I gained a lot of experience during the course of this project and I had so much fun in the process.
I began my 3D endeavor when I moved to Vancouver, BC to study at Lost Boys School of Visual Effects in 2012. One of our first assignments was to pick an object and build a 3D representation of it. We learned hard surface modeling techniques as well as capturing high quality textures and build a convincing shader for the prop in order to sell surface qualities of its material. I learned a lot in this project and I instantly fell in love with 3D art. Not only I was learning how to use a 3D tool, I was learning about physics and little nuances of how light affects the materials of objects around the world we live in. This Box Cutter is a simple prop but it is still one of my favorite projects to date.
