The goal was to texture man-made objects in a newer state and then re-texture the same geometry to show wear and tear. I wanted to work with objects that I use on an everyday basis. I modeled the scene in Maya. Photoshop and Mari were used for painting the textures. 1280 x 720. Rendered in Mental Ray. 8-12 minutes a frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e6bac4e4b021b682b90fa3/1425013235029-CDPWX67AJTQZFTZAOVTL/kitchen_texturing.jpg Breakdown Images - Kitchen Utensils Responsible for all aspects, except HDR.

This scene was done as part of a group project. I modeled the coffee roaster in Maya. I used Photoshop and Mari to texture it, and used nParticles for the smoke you see rising from the beans. I also worked to optimize the scene to allow for quicker renders. 1280 x 720. Rendered with Mental Ray. About 50 minutes a frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e6bac4e4b021b682b90fa3/1424595293035-9F54F51SIH5Y30T0E8BM/candy_bowl_breakdown.jpg Breakdown Images - Candy Bowl Responsible for all aspects. This project came about because I wanted to do something fun and colorful with RBDs in Houdini. I used Photoshop to put the logos on the candy and Houdini's Bullet solver for the RBD simulation. I used point information from the DOP Network to instance randomly chosen geometry that had been assigned the 6 different colors of M&M's. 1280 x 720. Rendered with Houdini's Mantra. 2-4 minutes a frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e6bac4e4b021b682b90fa3/1425013024035-IE9NTUGJV9SAXLSW8HGK/rbd_vase_thumbnail.jpg Breakdown Images - Vase RBD Responsible for all aspects, except HDR. For these two sequences, I wanted to show the difference between heavy and light objects colliding in an RBD simulation. I modeled the vase in Maya, and the set up the rest of the scene in Houdini. I created an easy-to-use voronoi fracture system that gives the user control over the object's fracture points. 1280 x 720. Rendered with Houdini's Mantra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e6bac4e4b021b682b90fa3/1424745102765-8DUEI0QFJIUVEMYH1XUB/house_thumbnail.jpg Breakdown Images - Procedural House Responsible for all aspects. For this piece, I wanted to make a house that had many procedural controls. The user can control basic parameters like height, width, and depth. Controls for the roof, porch, and windows were also included. I modeled and set up the scene in Houdini. I used Photoshop to touch up the roof texture before applying it in Houdini. 1280 x 720. Rendered with Houdini's Mantra. http://www.jimkoonce.com/resume daily 0.75 2025-04-30 http://www.jimkoonce.com/reel daily 1.0 2024-04-22 http://www.jimkoonce.com/contact daily 0.75 2015-02-27
