Cleve's evil office

Overall layout of the interior. Huge thanks to Ronaldo Mei, who did the inital early blockout.

My model done in Modo to simplify the design down and optimize into 8 radial segments. This turned out to be important for the CG team to have as a modular base.

Early sketch development

Concept development done at DreamWorks Animation for Fast & Furious: Spy Racers.

This area appears in the Netflix Season 3 as Cleve Kelso's secret base. Huge thanks to Ronaldo Mei, my talented coworker who did the early 3D blockout of this interior.

I think I got the opportunity to design the main "Bad Guy" lair in each season and each was more fun than the last. This one was no exception! In the story the base houses a huge, evil weather-controlling machine - and the design of the main core reactor is figured out here, along with the general layout, materials, mood and lighting of the area.
