Bulldog from Alex Liki on Vimeo.

This AD was made in a month, so you can imagine how fast everyone had to work. I modeled the dog's head in a week using some pictures taken from the real dog. With the model done I worked on it's UVs and painted the base texture that later was used as a reference for the final one. Working together with the rigging department I did some blendshapes for his facial rigg and some corrective ones so the outline of the model could have a better blending with the real dog's head.

Breakdown: I was responsible for model the dog's head and some blendshapes (like the "smile"). I also did the base texture for him which was used as a template for the final one. He was modeled in Maya using polygons.

All the pre-production, production and post production was done in just 6 months. Have in mind that this is a 22 minutes short film, so it was a lot of material in a very short period of time. The look of the film was developed in a visual style more suited to children's TV series.
