Project
DARPA-NovaWurks' Hyper Satlet
Type
Educational Prototyping
Role
Lead Artist, Generalist
Software Maya, VUE, adobe cc
DARPA in conjunction with Novawurks are leading the movement away from the traditional approach to hosted payloads based on the modular Hyper Satellite platform. This brings a reduction in the high costs of traditional hosted payload providers. Instead, any organization with unique, experimental, or proprietary payloads can collaborate with NovaWurks to design a customized spacecraft to meet their mission objectives and budget, and then select a launch vehicle accordingly.
I used a combination of Maya, VUE-Xstreme and Adobe Creative Suite (and a heap of plugins) to create this project in collaboration with the appointed Art Director. Working remotely, I did previs, animatics, models (based on proprietary schematics) animation, rendering and post-production to create this project that was used to help educate the public, guide the engineers, developers and to garner enterprise interests.
