Got a chance to light this amazing animation from Disney Animator Ozan Basaldi that was made available thanks to a collaboration with Dreamworks Animator Liron Topaz provided by Francesco Giroldini‘s Patreon.
Wanted a bright scene for this shot and chose to light it using references from The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Worked on the look dev and shading of this shot to make it look more appealing using the different texture maps for the materials. Created her hair using xGen.

Learnt about how wrap light helps sculpt a character and make it more appealing.
This scene was lit with Arnold in Maya and composited in Nuke.
