HoloLens Holograms
2016


CLIENT
Microsoft

RESPONSIBILITIES
Hologram Artist

OVERVIEW
The first project I was given upon arriving into my contract with Microsoft Analog R&D, was with a small team responsible for creating some of the first “holograms” for the first HoloLens.

PROBLEM
I was given the task of creating low-poly, photo-realistic, real-world furniture, and “x-ray hologram” styled 3D exploded cutaways. We were developing for a constantly moving target performance, as specs we continuously changing. When all was said and done, we were able to define a poly-budget of 750, and a diffuse texture, one-pass shader.

APPROACH
Having over 25+ years of modeling and texturing real-world objects, I was high-skilled and had the production pipeline down. I was able to mentor two other junior artists, sharing best real-time practices and workflows.

I leveraged the Quixel Suite to achieve the fabric and leather textures, and overlaid the 3D wireframes generated in the UV’s upon a stylized “holographic-blue” texture.

RESULTS
These “holograms” were designed to be used as part of the Holograms Viwer app that HoloLens users would be able to place and interact within their Mixed Reality environment.

TOOLS
3DS Max | Photoshop | Quixel Suite
