Secret Invasion was a challenging show as it required multiple transformation shots from multiple characters between the human and Skrull creatures. Full CG humans and Skrulls were created then a layered shader was set up to be able to blend the materials while the model also transformed via some tricks in Houdini. It was important to go with a 3D effect for better realism and interest. My responsibility was asset supervision focusing on textures and lookdev in particular to develop approaches which could be rolled out across the show, working with Tippett Studio US and Canada.
