Particle Look Exploration
One of the my favorate type of tasks at Pixar is 3D visual exploration. I use 3D techniques to create visuals that go beyond the limitations of traditional 2D concept arts. My focus at this stage is purely on visual exploration, deliberately disregarding production constraints. These explorations don't always make it directly into the final film, but they sometimes serve as inspiration for other projects. This particular piece was an early look study for the environment called "Back of the Mind" in Inside Out 2, a concept that was ultimately cut due to story changes.
