| Gray Horsfield is a former WETA Digital FX artist for Valve Software. He began working at Valve in 2006, and apparently stepped down earlier this year. If you don't know him by name, then you probably know him by his work. He worked on the LOTR series as a visual FX artist at WETA. More recently, he was responsible for the stunning destruction effects in Valve's games, like the bridge collapses in HL2: Episode Two, the opening container scene from Portal 2, and the zombie gibs in the Left 4 Dead series. The first video is a demo reel showing the various destruction and "many-body" scenes throughout their games. A lot of it is familiar to Valve fans, but there's also video from never-before-seen projects, including 'SOB'. |
