Case Study:
ACU of Texas

I worked directly with Comcast to translate the 2D AI character for ACU of Texas into a 3D version, ready for use across TV commercials and brand content. The subsequent TV commercials were also animated by me.

Principal software used for everything was Cinema 4D + Redshift & Adobe After Effects.

This is the rig entirely controlled in After Effects:

Here are some of the still poses prepared for general use!
