Created for the outdoor on-site screens at Laver Cup, this piece began from the design team’s storyboard. I took a free tennis-ball model and reworked it heavily — refining the texture and generating new fur — then built the 3D scene and lighting and ran a series of dynamic simulation tests. Ian Van Winkle took that foundation to the finish, completing the final simulation animation and render.
