I was the character modeling lead at DisneyStudios from 2010 to 2013 .In this clip from The Pirate Fairy .I made first the model for James (Captain Hook young) based on drawings ,with a topology that could handle all of the pirates .Except for the little old guy who shared its DNA with another character .Then I reused James Geometry to build the other characters , the result is that the 5 Pirates could be blendshaped with each others ,shared the same uvs ,and used the same skeleton and controls rig .Their facial expressions and phonemes too were shared and tweeked for specifics .It was a process that saved a lot of time for the production .I also did the Zarena , pirate fairy, vis dev and production model
In this CLIP I I created a new model for the Queen Clarion model as well as the Gelata one including facial blendshapes expressions and phonemes
