Congrats to recent Gnomon graduate Yifan Wang , who won "Best of Term - Grooming" during the Spring 2024 competition! Using his Maine Coon cat, Khaos, as a reference, Yifan created this original concept project in our Maya Modules course taught by Jackson Lukas . "The project delves deeply into procedural grooming using SideFX Software Houdini and rendering with Mantra/Redshift to achieve lifelike details and a natural presentation," Yifan said. "Careful consideration was given to lighting and shading, which brought out the intricate details of the fur. I made the final look development in Foundry Nuke." #Gnomon #vfx #animation #games

Happy Halloween from Gnomon and this hauntingly gritty scene by Nat Bishop winner of "Best of Term - 3D Illustration" for the Spring 2024 Term! Inspired by Thomas Eakins’ 1889 oil painting 'The Agnew Clinic,' Nat reimagined the surgical theater with a fusion of Victorian and futuristic themes. This project was an ambitious one for Nat, completed in Texturing and Shading 2 and Hard Surface 1 under instructors Tran Ma and David Mooy , using Marvelous Designer , Adobe Substance 3D Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and Autodesk Maya. "When I started this piece I was in my second term, coming from an engineering background and having made my first piece of art of any kind only nine months before," Nat said. "So I wanted to do something on a larger scale to see if I was capable of completing it in only one term. I had never used Marvelous Designer or Substance Painter before this project." #Gnomon #3DIllustration #3Dart #Halloween #painting
