"The Tower of Time" is a short film by Quirós Animation Studios. I worked as a 3D Character Artist, creating both characters Null (gorilla) and Nix (big eyes). And as a 3D Environment Artist, modeling 95% of the short film environments.

Responsible for:
Characters:
  • Model (organic & inorganic)
  • UV layout (organic & inorganic)
  • Shapes (facial & body)
  • Character setup (skeleton & skinning)
Environments:
  • Model
  • UV layout
I also worked as a concept artist in many of the character's objects and environments, did the animation of a couple of scenes using Motion Builder, and created water simulation with Real Flow. All being aspects of the short.

Awards:

• Final nominations for Best National Animation Shor Film at the Spanish Goya Awards 2010.
• 1st Prize award at the International Short Film Festival of Torrelavega 2010.
• 1st Prize award at the National Short Film Festival of MULA 2010.
• 2st Prize Award at the International Short Film Festival SICARM 2010.


This is my first important title, and participating in such an amazing project has filled me with enthusiasm! It was hard work, but in the end it was all absolutly worth it!

I wish everyday for another opportunity to bring to life a 3D character.
