Magic University

Hi everyone! I’m sharing a project I’ve been working on: a magical university designed in two distinct states. This past year, my primary responsibility has been the end-to-end creation of this type of content for production pipeline.

The entire university was modeled and textured procedurally within Maya, with Arnold used to achieve the final lighting and atmosphere for both versions. A significant part of my workflow also involved using Photoshop to prepare these complex structures for 2D animation, ensuring every element is properly separated and optimized.

If the original concept artist sees this, please reach out in the comments! I’d love to credit you properly, as I’ve worked on so many assets lately that I don’t recall exactly who designed each one.
