As a part of the environment modeling I had the opportunity to model a props, environments, vegetation, and set dressings.
I modeled Moana's boat.
Lots of ropes!
More ropes.
Fun wood modeling and oh yes more ropes.
Along with Moana's bat, I modeled a lot of the canoes.
I did the 1st pass on Tafiti island.
One of the about 4 to have modeled Motunui.
Lots of vegetation. I had the change to model the mature mango tree, young almond tree and coconut trees.
Here are the majority of the fales I got to model for Motonui.
Tattoo and cooking fales
Chief's fale
Inner structures had to look believable, I had a lot of fun with this.
This is the detail inside the Grand fale
Along with set dressing the bottom middle barge, I got to model the huge drum.
One of for environment modelers on the Kakamora barge. I was responsible for modeling and set dressing the bottom half of the center barge.
Lots of coconuts and no they are not all exactly the same. That would be boring.
Set Dressing for this shot.
Tomatoa's lair, modeling/set dressing.
Some huge barnacles. In my research, I came to the conclusion that they are ALIENS!
I found out Alena Loftis used my barnacles for Tomatoa's teeth.
2 of the 4 hand torches modeled for the close up shots.
