Hey Dude Shoes
Drooth Ltd.
For Hey Dude Shoes projects, my role involved the complete 3D visualization pipeline and effects integration.
Using photogrammetry in Reality Capture, created detailed 3D models of the shoes, refined them in Houdini, and applied dynamic effects like explosions and particles.
Used Redshift for realistic rendering and Nuke for compositing and color grading. The goal was to create bold, visually striking content that showcased the shoes creatively and aligned with the Hey Dude brand.
