MICHELIN CHALLENGE DESIGN Sketch modeling 2rd place
Transportation Managment : A. Deleuze Transportation design : P-H. Vallin & R. Mancaux Digital Managment : D.Wen Digital design : R. Rotsaert
Brief : Create a sustainable vehicule to find driving pleasure outside the automatized urban context of 2030. The design team chose to create a climbing vehicle with a concept of thin and smooth wheels to follow the rocks.
This 4 months project was modelised in 3 days. It was my first sketch modeling project. It was very interresting thanks to its discusses with the designers, and the necessity to be efficent in short time.
With my manager, we decided to make the modeling at the same time as the design was defined, to be the most efficient as possible. That why, we chose to have the same base file, devide the work, and exchange frequently all the parts of the vehicule.
LAND ROVER - DISCOVERY SPORT Alias Class A modeling
The aim of this exercice is to modelize an English car with the maximum of fidelity and quality of surfaces. This project begins by the analyse of a lot of images and the real car. It’s learns to read volume and interpret all reflexions on the body car.
Illustrations
First, I placed blueprint and main curves with good dimensions. I began to build the side glass, wheel arches, and surfaces on the Y0. Next, I built my volume with curvature quality between surfaces. I checked all the time if the design is respected. Finally I had components like the rearviews, wheel rims, grids and lights. And to finish, I added mecanic fillets for renderings
After the Nurbs modeling, I work generally on 3dsmax to do these renders. So first, I control the quality of the mesh on Alias and export it in .obj .
When the vehicule is in motion, I just recalculate the wheels with motion-blur. I animate them previously with the help of dummies.
I place all my lights to highlight the volume and have nice reflections on the body. For integrations, I add an HDRI to have reflections of the environment on the body.
Optic Group CGI internship
I did a summer internship in 2015 at Optic Group, where I learned to do renders and integrations. One of my mission was to create renders and teasers of a new concept car. I really liked to propose different way of communication. All renders were made on 3dsmax Vray with second part of post production.
ASAP - HYBRID HELICOPTER CONCEPT CGI Animation
Jordan Beauvais Pierre Joveneaux Raphaël Rotsaert Maxence Texier
ASAP is an hybrid machine, mix between a futuristic helicopter and a plane. I worked with 3 others digital designers to create a video to retranslate the beauty and technic of the machine in a 2 minutes computer generated animation.

I was in charge of the cut of the video. I evolved it from the animatic to the final video. The most important for me was to keep a rythmed video and keep coherence between music and the different sequences of the film.
Premiere Pro allows me to see all the updates quences, give all the necessary informations proj
s in real time, follow the progress of each seto my group, and keep a global vision of the ject
Simultaneously, I worked on the sound-design on Reaper. I really wanted that the sound effects help to immerge the viewers in the video. That why, I worked on each sequences with 3 different layers of sounds : - Main sounds - Environnment sounds - Synthetic effects
I worked on After Effects to produce the HUDs of our augmented reality screen. We choose to have 3 different screens, on the center the flight conditions, on the left the helicopter’s status, and on the right the sky and cities informations. I created the design of these interfaces and animated them to look like starting screens. Footages were added to save time in the production.
The same work was made on augmented reality indicators when the helicopter is explosed. Process : I animated the 2D HUDS on After Effects Export in sequences of Jpegs I applied the animated materials on plans in 3D Finally, I rendered these plans to use them in post production
In this ÂŤabstract environmentÂť we wanted an elegant way to show the egergy transmision between the motor and the rotor. To simulate the precense of energy I deformed a bloc of particles with Trapcode. I added 2 little lights which danse around the engine to show the direction of transmission.
For People Visualisation internship
One of my mission at For people was to reproduce in stills images the public space of Parc Royal which is the Holiday Inn Express show-hotel with the maximum of fidelity. I could by myself go to this hotel and to take pictures to have a maximum of details of the hotel. Next, I could begin to build my 3d scene with the help of plans and my photos. After that I could place all the furnitures, lamps, food, objects at the right place and apply the good materials.
My second mission was to create a visit of this interior on Samsung Gear VR and Ipad. So I rendered 12000x6000px images with the help of 360° spherical cameras. After rendering, I always do post-production on Photoshop. It allows me to constrast, change the ambiance, highlight the design of my renders. Finaly I used Panotour Pro to programm an interactive presentation show all the rooms and modes of the interior (night and day).
PEUGEOT WORKSHOP Alias sketch-modeling project
Transportation design : Paul Martinez Digital design : R. Rotsaert
I had the chance to work with the designers and modelers of Peugeot during a 2 month workshop. A first competition was made by the transportation designers of my school. Eight designers were selected and I worked with one of them to developp and modelize his concept. Finaly this workshop was presented to designers at the Peugeot’s studios.
For this project, the brief was to create with a transportation designer a new car, sucessor of the Peugeot 404 MontlhĂŠry.
At the same time the concept was created, I built surface models. That allows to see and develloped the vehicule with a real 3D looking and propose different solutions to the designer. This way of sketch modeling was very interresting because of its constant backs and forthes between sketches and 3D model.
For the first models, to see the volume, I used basic surfaces like squares and skins. Next I searched and developped with construction history to be fast, and when the concept was defined I added quality on surfaces and details.

For the all the design review, I applied materials, calculate the ambiant occlusion, and place few cameras. I allowed me to discuss with the modelers and designers of Peugeot with the help of a real time show. For the first models, to see the volume I used basic surfaces like squares and skins.
