Pepsico "Unretired" Ad

This is a Frito-Lay/Pepsi/NFL commercial I worked on at The Mill. I worked on the shaders for the crowd simulations and I also did the lighing and rendering for the crowds in several shots.

There were 8 different teams that I needed to represent in the shaders for the stadium crowds. I worked off of a shader setup from the crowds artist and modified the colors and logos to match the teams each audience needed to support. I also textured and lookdeved a new football player agent, which we used for the sidelines in several shots, including the one above.

For the lighting, I shared the shots with CG lead Zsolt Krajsik and rendered different parts of the crowds for different cameras and stadiums. The Mill crowds artist was away during this project, so we did a lot of the crowd sim setup and adjustments ourselves.

Here's the full credits for the spot!
