Hello #PortofolioDay. I'm an animator, concept and Visual development artist at #github.
My true passion is in animation and video games, and most recently taking an interest in procedural 3D and VFX.

Thanks to @kortizart for being the voice of every artist who has ever put pen to paper, well known or beginner, living or dead who’s work is on line.

Slay the "CorpCorp" monster.
It doesn't look so good does it? Anyone having tips to reduce SSS noise in low light on Houdini / Karma? #houdini #vfx #cg #sidefx #Fusion

@nbsparth Amazing as always!

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

@pifafu @nayafia It was fun being a part of and creating some of those artifacts. Ty for this!

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

@bengal_art It was some of this work that inspired me years ago! Still in awe! 🙇🎩

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

Most times, I don't know what to do, so I try to do everything!
I like surfaces and CAD-like modeling. #moi3D #conceptart #spaceship

🧵One such idea, was to build a quick platform game. Based on @CameronFoxly 's concept in #unity. My part was to tie game art direction with brand elements we have created along the years, and new ones which the design team was using at the time. #conceptart #videogames

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

Many months ago, I worked on concepts for a refresh of #github ‘s error/404 page. For ages we thought of using that space as a test bed for art direction, and a view into Mona's /#octocat world. 🧵

" Just one more ... ".
One of my last projects @GitHub. Celebrating partnership and the release of #GodotEngine 4.0.

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

Well.., that's a bummer. Missed the 10 year mark by a month @Github.
It's been a real and surreal journey. Grateful for all the people I have met and have helped me stay, shine, shape, design, sculpt, storyboard, and animate everything Octocat related and more.

Thank you.🙇‍♀️

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

@mdo @github It's been a minute since that first interview I had with you. Thank you for being there!

@chacon @CameronFoxly @cbrasic This masterpiece is not mine, and belongs to @chacon , - how dare you.

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

@HomeworldGame The cutscene was amazing! And the battle theme, still my favorite in the homeworld universe. Still hits me after more than 20yrs.

[João Ribeiro @Wodzgn]

@BuckAdmiral So beautiful!
