Technical Lookdevelopment,
​@ LEGO

In August 2021, I was asked to help the LEGO CG team pilot a transition from their Box Art photography workflow to a full CG workflow. The initial framework already existed through efforts of Nicolai Slothuus, Jens Kafitz, Oliver Heyme and others. By the time I joined they successfully delivered 150 sets - half of which within target quality.

18 months later we were delivering 1200 Sets digitally YoY with each Set counting between 8 and 12 renders for the Box print. We estimated around 12.000 renders every year.

As of writing this (18-sep-24) I'm fairly confident most of my shading library is replaced.
