Jun 2014 - Jun 2017
As a member of Kwikee I am heavily involved in the creation and implementation of high quality imagery stored on Kwikee Systems, the leading source for CPG product related content for retailers, brokers, e-commerce and mobile app developers.-Simulated product photography in a 3D environment to create photo-real images according to GS1 standards. This involves creating 3D polygonal objects in Blender and then importing those models into 3DS Max to be rendered using Vray. Collaboration among members before and after my part of the pipeline is essential.3D models are created by utilizing either CPG packaging mechanicals, CAD files, 3D scans, or if those aren't available, reference images of a similar product. 3D scans are retopologized to create a clean, contiguous wireframe.-Image Editing- Edited high resolution product photographs, 3D renders, and GS1 360 Spin Renders, creating clip paths and correcting errors such as render artifacts, texture issues, color issues, and other miscellaneous issues brought to my attention by clients. Created product mock-up images utilizing packaging mechanical files to conform to GS1 standards. Developed Photoshop Actions designed to automate image editing workflows used in the studio to create synergy between Photographers,Image Editors, and 3D Generalists.-Created Standalone and WebGL product visualizations using the Unity game engine and organized content for use on local web servers.-Coordinated CGI assignments among multiple outsources.-Inventory- Organized arriving physical products into individual jobs to be assigned to Studio Photographers. Photography jobs are entered into Kwikee's proprietary job's system to be assigned to the Studio Photographers via the Account Managers.
