I was contracted by Storm Studios in Oslo, Norway to supervise the creation of a creature pipeline for the studio.  The testbed creature was to be an iconic Norwegian polar bear (isbjørn in Norwegian).  The artists at the studio were talented, but had never attempted a photorealistic creature before.

It was an enjoyable experience mentoring enthusiastic artists to realise their potential.  From a geeky standpoint, it was great to tutor the artists on modelling, rigging, animation and RenderMan shader coding.

This is the results of the creature pipeline.
