Responsible for:

• Utilizing Houdini's RBD Material Fracture SOP and Substance Designer to create a broken wooden spear that matched the practical prop, ensuring a seamless transition when the main character breaks the spear in half on screen.

• Receiving and aligning tracked geometry of the sticks in the actors' hands with the CG model for accurate positioning and interaction.

• Created all lighting for the shots to realistically integrate the CG spear with the live-action footage.

• Customized a blood material applied to the spear after it was "stabbed" into another actor.

• Creating geometry and a shadow pass to cast realistic shadows from the spear onto the practical footage.

• Setting up all texturing in Substance Designer to create both the clean and bloody versions of the spear.
