EVE Project
WALL-E (2008) is a computer-animated science fiction film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures.
I had the idea of creating a small scene with the Eve character that I modeled before, focusing just on the gun shot moment.
I started modelling this character in blender, following references, then I created a simple rig and animate it.
I then proceeded and create the environment. I wanted to experiment a bit and have her in a more rocky/dry nature spot. A more rocky/sandy look has also been an option while collecting references.
A discrete amount of time went into the creation of the materials, having a slightly complex node setup for some, changing the look also to give the impression that each asset belongs to the scene.
Nothing too fancy here, the only "makeup" was creating a material blend on a ground pile near to the camera using a painted vertex color. Edge blending like but without geometry blending.
For the VFX part, I took the opportunity to practice with Houdini, importing the main beam as a reference for the other simulations.

I paid attention to make an overall scene optimization: LODs - lower poly count and textures size (batch processing) for far away objects, cleaning up scans if need it and proxies use.

This is the first concept of the shot. It's more fantasy looking, it's why I rather went for the second option with rings
