Client: Crocs + Personal Projects
Rive is my latest best friend. I originally started my career (with my multimedia degree) as a creative Flash Developer. But ultimately Flash died.
But now there is Rive, and it is my favorite new toy. A lot like flash I can create interactive and complex animations and design them into websites AND mobile apps. Games, carousels, and so much more. I love that this type of work has come back in my life.
For this carousel, I modeled two styles of the Croc (Platform and Street) and added some creative morphing. And I added Fur for the comfort styles. Within Rive I networked many different timeline nodes and event triggers to create the transitions between the styles.
Worked with the team at Vehicle Works on the new launch of Croc’s exclusive 711 shoes. Crocs needed to showcase their fabulous collaboration with excitement and flair. For the project they needed a heavy scene replacement. View Croc’s 711 page
Of all the collaborations and styles Crocs makes, the 711 themed platform shoe is by far the best looking. I had an incredible challenge modeling, texturing and rendering liquid simulations to this motion video.
Nexus is X-particles’ latest GPU based simulation system. With it I managed to create the liquid drips and crown splashes. I think I prefer it over RealFlow.
