Spatial Discontinuity

A RenderMan-focused technical project exploring discontinuous spatial forms,
archive replacement, shading/rendering setup,
and presentation of procedural scene variations.

RenderMan rendering and RIB/archive workflow
Maya-based preliminary modeling and layout iteration
MEL UI tooling for randomized RenderMan archive placement

Reference Images

Visual references used to define the mood, spatial language, and material direction.

Preliminary Models

Early Maya studies used to explore object placement, form language,
and composition before final RenderMan rendering.

RenderMan Rendering Techniques

Subdivision and RenderMan archive workflows were used to manage repeated objects
and final rendering setup.

Before / After — Render Setup to Final Output

A self-contained before/after slider replaces the older external Widgetic embed.
Drag the handle to compare the workflow/setup image against the final render.

RenderMan Archives UI Class

MEL scripts for replacing original objects with RenderMan archive instances
and controlling randomized archive placement.
