I had to make sure the poly count on the cloth mesh would be high enough to fold properly over everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/04fdb65e-eff9-4f0c-a742-30cc815067b1/chavezJacob_troll_TT.png Works - CFX I was tasked with making my own recreation of trolls doll hair to resemble the character Poppy from the Trolls Movie.

I did a lot of tweaks and fixes on Sunny's various models made last semester. The teardrop head, face, and mouth were done entirely by me though! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/42acfa3e-2f2e-4513-be47-fd57a172e7be/homelessGuyFinal.jpg Works - Sunny (Lighting and Modeling) The Homeless Guy was the second most important character in our short film that I had the privilege to model. I modeled both his square and grumpy form as well as his rounded out self that appears at the end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/3c6b84eb-8cc1-426b-9ba0-1a7fbf273344/charactersFinal.jpg Works - Sunny (Lighting and Modeling) These are various other side characters I worked on in the 2024 spring semester. The characters on the left half were made from reference to the concept art by our director Sean McComber. The characters on the right half were completely original and both designed and modeled by me! My goal with the right half of the characters was to keep the consistency with the style Sean had made for his characters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/dfe779b0-fd92-4a0b-bafa-072323b2b4ea/propsFinal.jpg Works - Sunny (Lighting and Modeling) These are other various props I worked on in the 2024 spring semester. Varying from trees, cars, and different variations of signs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/105752a6-a3c2-40f1-b315-98e482b0b4d6/highRisePropFinal.jpg Works - Sunny (Lighting and Modeling) Here are more props and high-rise buildings I made during both my spring and fall semesters. The stoplight beams were made in the spring along with high-rise buildings, which were used as buildings scaled large to be in the background of the foreground buildings in our shots. The sidewalk and roads were tweaked and worked on through both semesters that were used as the infrastructure through the whole short film. Lastly, the smaller props were used in a coffee shop building made in the fall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/f40111f3-4329-4f82-bbc5-acfcbb695c49/buildingsFinal.jpg Works - Sunny (Lighting and Modeling) Buildings I made during the spring semester. These assets were reused multiple times throughout various sets to create the city streets. https://www.jacobchavezportfolio.com/works/lighting-and-composition-ii-final monthly 0.5 2025-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/7065e3dc-ce64-4353-9a5a-638163503fee/lightingcomp2finalcompsc.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c41fbc3dc18965928a4e32/f6435737-f280-4b67-8dae-203569f61d8c/lightingcomp2finallightingsc.png
