Hey #Trek fam! I'm gonna finally move on from Xitter. If you're interested in #StarTrek #VFX stuff, and other random musings, hit me up on Threads! I'll be posting more behind the scenes VFX stuff, and the occasional Trek related render! threads.net/@rommelvfx

Falalala! VOTE! VOTE FOR @VP @KamalaHarris and @GovTimWalz to be our next President and Vice President!

Here are some test renders of the Syraprise and some close ups of the open panels. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #USSEnterpriseD #VFX Check out my Threads for more pics! threads.net/@rommelvfx

Turntable! This is pretty much how we reviewed assets. And it being in space, we had a space background with some key and fill lights. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #VFX

Inside Spacedock! #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #VFX

The Starbase was one heck of an asset. The talented artists at GhostVFX did a fantastic build. It was a beast of a render though! The shuttle asset was renamed a few times. Started off as the Saavik, and we had an Uhura, Gorkon, and this was the Ro. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #VFX

Another Chateau Picard setup. It starts with the final look, a glimpse of the real vineyard, and back to the final version. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #VFX

Here's Chateau Picard going from the actual set in Southern California during the day, to the worn and overgrown version at night in France being attacked by the Borg. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #VFX

Chateau Picard is an actual house at an actual vineyard in Southern California, but we had a fully CG version of it that we used for shots with these big camera moves. I took existing characters that I re-textured to look like Seven and Raffi. #StarTrek

Here's something more down to earth. I had just come on board as CG Supervisor of the show & these were the first shots from #StarTrekPicard Season 2 that I oversaw. To be honest, we had some amazing artists on it so I didn't need to do much "supervising". #StarTrek

Our Houdini artists did fantastic work here. I gave them reference footage of the Jem Hadar battle cruiser getting exploded in #DS9's Sacrifice of Angels. I wanted to replicate the cascading explosion along the hull as we flew by. They nailed it. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #VFX

Our team worked on the exterior Borg cube shots. The "Blazing Bev". I took the previz & anim we received from client in Maya for refinements before we brought it into Houdini, one of only a handful of shots we fully rendered in Houdini. #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #Picard

Adios Eleos! Here's a fun breakdown video of the Eleos getting yeeted. Done in Maya, Houdini, and Nuke. #StarTrekPicard #StarTrek #Picard

And a few more of my other favorite #StarTrek shots that I had the privilege to work on. #StarTrekPicard #Picard

I made a GIF with one of the shots that I shaded, lit and rendered. One of my all time favorites. #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #TNGRemastered #Unification

I'm happy to announce that I've accepted an offer to be the new Lead CG Supervisor at CBS-VFX! And no, they don't work on Star Trek. The last time they did, they were called CBS-D and they did the TNG Remaster. But hey, who knows what the future holds?

Anyone else catch the #StarTrek #WrathofKhan reference in #HeMan #Revolution? When the character Shatner is voicing says "I'm laughing at the superior intellect."

When I was young, after I saw the @readingrainbow behind the scenes of #TNG, I wanted to be @MikeOkuda when I grew up. I would go to my friend's house and make okudagrams in MS Paint on his Tandy computer. Took all my will to not geek out when I met him while working on TNG-R.
