My Menorah Art Direction & CG Supervision

Jewish Interactive is a wonderful studio located in the United States and dedicated to creating educational games for Jewish children.
I had the opportunity to help them bring their new Hanukkah game for the first time into the 3D realm, it is now available for all mobile platforms and PC.
I was responsible for art direction and CG supervision in a team of 5.

Mickey’s Magical Math World

I had the pleasure to work with Crew 972 on this fun IPad game for Disney.
I had to fix Mickey’s and Mini’s topology that arrived from the client for them to work properly in animation and create the different alien characters.

Warhammer Eternal Crusade

Finished working on the Chaplain character with a co worker. Had a great time with the very pleasant and aspiring crew of Icon Creative Studio !

At the top is the initial look development of the character texturing and shading wise. At the bottom a character I did in 2.5 days as proof of concept, complete with Topology.

3D Printed Liara T’soni

A big thanks to Kfir Ram and the Israeli Animation College (IAC) !
Kfir asked if I’d like to print one of my digital sculpts and together we made this version of Liara as a gift to Nir Avital whom is the biggest fan of the Mass Effect game series I know 馃檪
The 3D print is in white which means Nir can have it painted, all of the sculpt details is in there including the tiniest wrinkles and fabric texture although it can not be seen in the photograph.

Stratasys and 3D Printing

I was recently invited to “Stratasys”, the Israeli branch is formerly known as “Objet” and is located in Rehovot, Israel.

Stratasys is the largest international 3D printing company and you can visit their website at聽http://www.stratasys.com

The meeting was extremely interesting and I learned many important things about 3D printing and the different printers available.

Of course I also took pictures of practically everything and I’m glad I can post some of them here !

Yuval Markovich聽did the coding,聽Noam Abta聽did the gui, lighting and brought the idea,聽Tsahi Reznick聽did the environment and animation and I mostly created the character.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of time many of the things weren’t implemented such as normal maps & most of the animations
