Mohammed Sami

“The power of invisibility has always been stronger for me than the power of visibility.”

Mohammed Sami approaches painting as an allegorical representation of the striking image of conflict and violence. His paintings explore belated memories triggered by common everyday objects from when he immigrated to Sweden as a refugee from his native Iraq.

Rather than using the stereotypical image of trauma to testify to the Iraq conflict, which he witnessed first-hand, Sami deploys painting to articulate war, memory, and loss obliquely. 

Sami’s painting challenges the typical image of suffering and provides a symptomatic perspective of conflict dynamics and its effects through a slow personal reading. His autobiographical works aim to evoke a widespread sense of loss that inhabits cultures collectively when it extends selfishness into generosity.

Born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1984, Sami lives and works in London, UK. 

➡️ Currently his work is shown in ‘The Point 0’ exhibition at Camden Art Centre, his first institutional solo show in the UK, until May 28, 2023. Sami is also featured in the 58th Carnegie International, on view until April 2, 2023.

you know i'm often baffled by the choices of authors for some big IPs but CL Clark for an Ambessa novel is an insanely good choice holy shit

Listen, they basically wooed them - they took them out on the town only to get rejected and be left scorned. All they were looking for was some Appreciation. If they had taken me out for milkshakes and merry-go-rounds and dinner, I would have appreciated them.

Those two(point0) have done nothing wrong ever in their lives. And you can believe me on that. Just trust me, okay?

The Making of Coaster: Stylized Lighting and Shaders

For awhile CG had been going the way of more and more detailed and into the realm of realism. Then in 2012, Paperman was released and the subsequently in 2014 Feast was released; short films by Disney with a very stylized look that contrasted with a lot of the animated films that were happening at the time. Now we have movies and shows like Into the Spiderverse and Arcane that further pushes the style. During that period, many short film creators wanted to emulate the style and would often request it, also more so in thinking that it is simpler and will save them money on rendering. Rather, it is quite far from simple to achieve that exact style and what is really necessary in making this pulling it off successfully is needing a very strong art director and extremely capable texture painters.

For the short film Coaster, the style reference was Disney’s Feast. Other than the 2D style, one of the trademarks of Feast is its rough toothy edges around objects that I had wanted to try to emulate. I had an idea of how to do it but would require rendering out separate pieces for everything and a lot of comp work but as a small team with limited manpower I wanted to try to keep as much as possible within Maya and with simple renders. Unfortunately it was just me and without the tools and knowledge resources of all of Disney so I did what I could, my best.

Setting up the shader:

Here I am using a surface shader since I was just going for a 2 tone look and didn’t need any ambient shadows nor specular. Additionally, by using a simple surface shader any render engine can be used, and in this case we went with Arnold since it is now available in Maya by default.

Connected to the color input is a ramp texture. In this example the ramp is set up with no interpolation and with the diffuse texture map on one end (point0) and white on the other (point1) for the light. If you want a soft gradation you can turn the interpolation on. If you want additional or alternative inputs you can add connect another instance of the texture map to where the white is and adjust the color balance of that node for it to be the light. Subsequently, you can add a third point doing the same and adjust the node darker for it to be the shadow and you will have a 3 tone shader.

The important factor here to make this shader function as a toon shader if the surface luminance node. Since the ramp is a U Ramp in this instance, I connect the surfaceLuminace to the UCoord of the ramp. Whenever light hits the surface of the object will be point1 (white) of the ramp and everything else will be point0 (diffuse texture).

I’ve separated out the eyes to have their own shader as I didn’t want them to react to lighting.

The additional benefits of using this shader setup is also that the lighting becomes simpler. Using a directional light with the intensity kept at 1.0, all that matters is the direction of the light. After positioning the direction of the light of how you want, further adjustments can be made with the ramp to change how far the light wraps around.

There’s a couple options from this point. You can use it as is or what we ended up doing for Coaster was breaking out the white into a separate render layer so it is just white and black and using that resulting image as a mask to do adjustments and effects in comp.
