Cinderella Castle Beacon of Magic - Magic Kingdom

The Beacon of Magic are icons that light up to celebrate and ignite the magic for the Walt Disney World Resort 50th Anniversary celebration that spans 18 months. They began lighting up the sky on October 1st.

Responsibilities on this project include assisting in initial revisualization for the development of the "EARidescent" shader as well as modeling all 100 pieces of decor for projection purposes that matched the 50th decor package that was placed on the castle.

Massive shoutout to the other incredible artists that took this project to the finish line during the pandemic!
