They asked us to make 8 billboards at very high resolutions, featuring the brand mascot, a giant octopus.
Modeling
Rigging
While someone else was modeling I was making a custom rig that was going to be able to be extremely deformed while keeping the “squishiness” of an octopus, the suction cups were able to be re-positioned and deformed almost individually while keeping them attached to the body; It also had skin simulation on top to fix little trouble areas like the union between tentacles.
While the posing and framing was being made, I focused on the shading and extra effects, like the underwater fog and bubbles.
