House Hunters International
Over my tenure at House Hunters International, I've delivered over 1,000 animated maps and globes.
Brand Refresh (2019)
My colleagues at Leopard USA and I approached HGTV with a brand refresh proposal. We identified an opportunity to modernize the show's 2D graphics package through a comprehensive 3D redesign. The network approved the concept, enabling the creation of an entirely new graphics package including updated lower thirds, maps, and globes.
4K Conversion (2021)
When HGTV began broadcasting on Dish Satellite in 4K, higher-resolution graphics became necessary. I led the pipeline conversion to 4K and 60fps, addressing increased packet sizes and extended render times to meet broadcast standards.
Technical Evolution (2023-2024)
To maintain technical currency, I adopted Cinema 4D's latest particle and pyro systems. Cloud VDBs, new HDRI resources, and redesigned textures were integrated to enhance realism and information density in the map graphics.
