Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2

My first Marvel picture and as a digital tailor for our cute hero, Baby Groot.

I’m always striving to explore new avenues in visual effects. Back in 2015, I joined up with a few friends at Framestore and started work as a Creature Effects Technical Director. The asset I was developing and maintaining was Baby Groot, where following his capture by the ravagers he is given a makeover.

The main goal when constructing a character simulation rig is that the rig can deliver a completed and logical result that could make it into a dailies review and possibly get a supervisor sign off.

The suit goes through three distinct stages, wet, damp and dry. All these looks had to come from the same simulation rig, so I designed presets that could be loaded onto the rig and then run.
