Rocks - Cliffs

​

 

When I was hired to work on Paw Patrol, one of the first things I was asked to do was improve the look of the rocks.

 

Every so often I worked on improving the quality of the rocks until I designed the look of the cliff on the left. This cliff ended up being reused on dozens of episodes.

​

In general we reused modular rock geometry, but for closeup acting areas we sculpted higher resolution unique rock geo which holds up better on screen. They were still created using pre-existing rock geo as a base.
