The Eager Beaver
A studio-produced animated series. My part: UV unwrapping, shading, texturing, lighting, rendering and compositing — working inside a real team pipeline with deadlines and continuity across episodes.

Production, not portfolio pieces
The Eager Beaver is a studio production — which means consistency matters more than any single beautiful frame. Shaders, textures and light rigs had to hold up across shots and episodes, made by many hands, on schedule.
I did the UV unwrapping on everything that came my way, then owned shading and texturing of characters and props, lighting of shots, rendering and final compositing in Nuke — the stage where all the departments' work becomes the final picture.
