No Doubt - Sphere Las Vegas (Live Show Visuals)

At Crafty Apes, I worked as Environment Supervisor on the “Just a Girl” sequence for No Doubt's show at the Sphere in Las Vegas, handling the CG from layout to final rendering

On this sequence, I was hands on across almost every stage of production. My work spanned layout, modeling, sculpting, texturing, look development, lighting and rendering, along with set dressing and procedural workflows for the environments, and I even contributed some animation along the way

The core of the pipeline ran in Maya and V-Ray, with Houdini for the procedural work, ZBrush for sculpting and Substance 3D Painter for texturing. Supervising the sequence while building so much of it myself made this an unusually hands-on project, where supervision decisions and artistic execution happened side by side

Seeing the finished sequence light up the Sphere during the show still feels a little surreal, and it remains one of the most memorable moments of my career so far
