Pokemon - Worlds 2026 - Nathan Love

For Pokemon, World Championship 2026 Opening, I was responsible for modeling and look development on all secondary and background Pokemon featured throughout the cinematic, as well as Solgaleo who was featured in a separate announcement video.

I upresed models and textures that were ingested from game assets and updated their animated facial setups to ensure they met the needs of production.
Additionally I modeled and textured the closeup environments of the ice and volcano planets and animated background effects such as the auroras and water.

Special thanks to Joe Buscarrano, Derrick Huang, Jin Fang Jiang, and the Nathan Love team for having me onboard!
