I’ve just finished working on the Branding Package for Fox-Horror Japan with director Nando Costa.
My work was to Model, Rig, Animate and Render the hero bird!
The hardest part was the rigging, no question 3D feathers is a pain.

This is my sketchbook.
Most part of the work here was done in digital (photoshop, open canvas, painter, artrage). But I also work on paper and I really like life drawing sessions.
I’ve used photographs as a reference for some images on this section.
I will post my OC painting sessions with my friend Mario Ucci, don’t forget to check out his amazing 2d portfolio.
I would say it’s better then the 3d one. But don’t tell him 
Little animation for Nike. Did simulation, rendering, everything in XSI.
Compositing and creative direction by Nervo.tv
Simulation was really fun to do, the rigid body solver worked perfectly with a bunch of groups, two environments and animated RB constraints.
This simple Addon can save you a lot of time if you have multiple channels to add to passes.
It allows you to select channels and add it all at once.

I was the Lead 3d for this project with Adam Gault and Carlo Vega.
Marcelo Souza helped me a lot to deliver a bunch of animations of the bull.
One thing I can say is that Carlo and Adam are really great people to work with!
If you have the chance, don’t miss it!
They did saved my 3d renders adding a lot of nice colors and style to it.
Got very good feedback to my demo Reel. Thanks everyone!
After some very nice job offers/interviews (and all the work to get an US visa), I’ve finally moved to Portland-Oregon.
Pacific Northwest looks awesome, if you are around here and know something fun to do… just send me a message!
Worked with my friends Chris Bahry and Alexandre Torres from Tendril doing texturing, lighting and some animation on this piece.
Texturing done in Photoshop and composition in After Effects, all the 3d work was produced using 3ds Max.
I’ve cut the best shots and previews I did, and worked on this small clip.
H2oh! is a flavored water type of thing that called for animated fishes inside of the aquarium.
At Conspiração Filmes filmes I had the opportunity to work in the modeling, animation and was the lead texturer/shading artist.
Our pipeline was based on Maya, Renderman and Photoshop.
I worked in two spots, the one for the launch of the product and the other for the new flavor Tangerine:

This is a study of a 3d creature. Most of the work to finish this project was done in a month in my spare time.
This project was done at Conspira filmes, I did around 10 shots on this piece. (animation, lighting and rendering).
Modeling of the character and all assets.
My process started with photo references and basic models in XSI, then I moved parts of the main character to Zbrush to refine and give more details to it.

This music video for Sepultura was directed by Luis Carone, I helped him with some Zbrush modeling and texturing.
It’s pretty intense!

“Sob Nova Direção” is a comedy TV show aired in Brazil.
This animation was very fun to work. The most exciting part is that I got to do the art direction of it. One of the most fun things was to make the backgrounds in Photoshop, and the characters in 3d.
Most of the 3d work was divided by me and Andre Holzmeister. Andre did an awesome job animating everything while I painted the backgrounds.
We both modeled/textured/shaded/lighting everything. I got to do the final compositing/color grading.
