Eight Legged Freaks

The first set of images represent the look of the spiders. My primary contribution to the look was the development of the hair groom and material appearance. I worked with a software engineer, Robert Minsk, to implement a custom Maya to Renderman lighting and rendering pipeline for our show. The images are followed by a few of the shots I lit and rendered for the production. This work was performed at Centropolis Effects (CFX) in Culver City, CA, under the direction of Paolo Moscatelli, Thomas Dadras and Karen Goulekas.
