Avatar: The Last Airbender S1 E1

These are the shots showing the 3D assets I've worked on for Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 1 Episode 1, the Netflix Live-Action serie released in 2024, while I was working at DNEG as an Environment Generalist TD. My Visual Effects Supervisor was Daniel Paulsson.

We can see the ice cave wall and icebergs assets that I have sculpted and UVed in ZBrush, then textured using Substance Designer and Photoshop and lookdev'd in Clarisse iFX for the virtual production of the show. I've worked on the lookdev of the water too. We had a setup for the wall and another one for the icebergs in Houdini as well. I've also done a concept digital matte painting for a presentation to the client for an iteration of the ice wall. In addition, I've gathered a lot of reference images for this environment. The environment was projected on a curved screen and actors were filmed in front of it.
