Full Pipeline

Chapter 01 — Start

From blockout to final.One artist.

Six stations. Scroll through the pipeline a shot moves through — and see where your project stands at every step of the way.

Scroll

Does the silhouette read at ten percent of the frame?

Form and proportion first.

Every project starts as a blocked-out massing study. Proportions are locked against reference before a single detail exists — so changes cost minutes, not days.

Silhouette and proportions locked in the first pass
Checked against reference plates and anatomy
Your sign-off before any detail is sculpted

You approve the silhouette before anyone sculpts a pore

by.adrian / blockoutMaya

blockout_v001.maStation 01 — Blockout

Blockout massing study — blue lineart figure with proportion guides

Detail is a decision, not an accident.

Clean model. Film-grade sculpt.

The approved blockout is turned into a clean production model — topology and deformation zones laid out where cloth, muscle and groom will pull on it downstream. Then it is sculpted to film grade in ZBrush: anatomy and detail that hold up in a 4K close-up.

Clean topology and deformation zones before detailing
Primary, secondary and tertiary forms, layered in order
Anatomy and silhouette checked against reference
Displacement maps baked for the renderer

One model — FX-ready and 4K close-up ready

by.adrian / modelZBrush

sculpt_v003.zprStation 02 — Modeling / Sculpting

Anatomy sculpt — blue wireframe figure, front and side, with proportion construction

Hair and cloth are physics, not paint.

FX, groom and environment in motion.

Simulation in Houdini, right after the sculpt is locked — cloth, hair, fur, muscle and destruction, plus the environmental FX around them, all set up for the shot's actual camera move and delivered as shot-ready caches.

Grooms built per shot, not per asset
Cloth, hair, muscle and pyro tuned to the camera
Caches as VDB, Alembic or USD

Built for the shot's camera — not the turntable

by.adrian / fxHoudini

fx_cfx_v004.hipStation 03 — FX / Groom

FX simulation — vellum cloth sheets, pyro column, fluid wave with particles and destruction shards around a blue wireframe figure

Every surface tells you what it is made of.

Materials that survive the close-up.

Texturing and shading in Mari and USD — skin, cloth, metal and grime authored layer by layer, lookdev-approved in the renderer you use.

Mari paint layers, UDIM-native
USD shading — Karma, RenderMan or Arnold
Lookdev turntables for your approval

One USD look — the same in every renderer

by.adrian / lookdevMari · USD

lookdev_v002.usdaStation 04 — Texture

UDIM texture grid with the active tile glowing blue-violet around a wireframe head

Lighting is the last performance.

Lit, rendered, farm-ready.

Lighting in Karma XPU and RenderMan — keyed to your plates, with FX and groom caches refracted, shadowed and volumetric-lit exactly as they will read in shot. Rendered as a full AOV set so comp keeps every option open.

Karma XPU · RenderMan · Arnold
FX caches integrated — volumes, holdouts, matte passes
Full AOV set — beauty never is the final
Denoised EXR sequences, versioned

Denoised beauty plus the full AOV set

by.adrian / lightingKarma XPU

render_010_v002/Station 05 — Light

Lighting — key and rim beams on a faceted figure over a reflective floor disc

The last ten percent sells the first ninety.

Composited. Graded. Done.

Passes assembled in Nuke, graded in DaVinci — FX elements deep-comped into the beauty, the frame that leaves this station is the frame that goes on screen.

Nuke comp of the full AOV set
FX volumes and elements integrated in comp
DaVinci grade matched to your plates
Final QC at delivery resolution

EXR master plus review MP4 — on the agreed date

// Why by.adrian

More than renders.

One pair of hands

Full pipeline, no handoffs

Sculpting to comp stays with one person. Nothing is lost between departments, because there are none.

Pipeline-native

USD in, Nuke out

Assets arrive as clean USD with shot-ready caches — dropped into Karma, RenderMan or Arnold without a conversion step.

Fixed quotes

Package pricing, real deadlines

Every kit below ships with a defined deliverable list and a date. You know what lands and when before the first wire transfer.
