ZUMBA - VFX/UI
Zoe Mode - Console
Main role: Built VFX pipeline and set the visual style for the effects.
Zoe Mode had very limited or no particle system. So to achieve effects I manually built all of the VFX for the Zumba series.
This involved a lot of pre-design and testing to make sure even the simplest effect worked. I would concept out the basis look and rough out the animation sequence. Building several versions until the client was happy with the finished effect.
