Troll breakdown – Beowulf return to the shieldlands by Jason Brown

Making of the troll (Beowulf return to the shieldlands). Jason at milk-vfx spent most of his time on the itv series “Beowulf return to the shieldlands” and the troll was one of his main assets to build(model, sculpt & blendshapes).

 

 

For the troll Jason created multiple vector maps “standard displacement and contraction maps contract & stretch”. He put some images up of the comparison starting from low poly to standard vector map to contract map (muscles, veins and wrinkles)
