New Guy
Mar. 2019 - Apr. 2019
New Guy is a short 3D animation about a newcomer trying to find his footing in the world of weightlifting. This film was inspired by my own interest in Olympic weightlifting, which helped my correctly pose the characters lifting the bar.
Up to this point, most of my animation experience had been in 2D, and I undertook this project with the desire to get out of my comfort zone and expand my skillset.
New Guy was a solo project, and I was responsible for all aspects of its creation apart from the character rigs. The New Guy character was based on the public Malcolm 2.0 rig from AnimSchool.com. The Big Guy character was licensed from Dietrich Magnus of M_RIGS.com. My work included:
- Layout and keying
- Modeling
- Lighting
- Rendering
- Compositing

Apartment
Jan. 2020 - Mar. 2020
Apartment is a self-explanatory project involving the modeling, lighting, and rendering of my college apartment. My goal was to see how much detail I could reproduce from what is, in the real world, a pretty uninteresting building. I ended up spending a lot of time in Substance Painter adding procedural detail. This project was also my introduction to the Arnold renderer in Maya, as well as cinematic rendering in Unreal Engine 4.
I rendered stills in Arnold for Maya, and the flythrough in UE4.

GDC '18 Narrative Review
Aug. 2017 - Mar. 2018
The Game Developers Conference (GDC) is an ongoing event that takes place annually in San Francisco, California. While the primary attractions are the talks and showcases from leading industry professionals, GDC also host a number of competitions for students. The Narrative Review Competition is one of these.
The competition involves the submission of a paper that analyzes the story of a game. Finalists are chosen from the submissions, and are asked to create a poster for their submission and present it at that year's conference alongside other finalists.
I entered the 2018 Narrative Review Competition with a paper on Ori and The Blind Forest, and presented my poster over 2 days at GDC 2018.
My work for this project was mostly written, though I was also responsible for designing, printing, and shipping the poster to GDC as well.

Tenei Walker Model
Aug. 2018 - Oct. 2018
The Tenei Walker is a character from the 4X PC game Endless Legend developed by Amplitude Studios. Being a top-down strategy game, the character models are small, and I had difficulty finding good reference. I used this as an opportunity to take some artistic license and create my own version of this character, learning Zbrush in the process.
The model was sculpted in Zbrush with help from 3DS Max for the mask-like face. Textures were exclusively vertex painted in Zbrush and rendering was done in Keyshot.

The Puzzle
Aug. 2019 - Oct. 2019
The Puzzle is an interactive puzzle and animation experience. It took inspiration from my interest in consciousness, philosophy of mind, and (believe it or not) puzzles. It was created using Cycling 74's visual coding program Max, along with the Makey-Makey invention kit. This project combined physical prop interaction with a 2D animation that progressed through different stages as the puzzle was completed.
Using the Makey-Makey to pass inputs into the computer, I created the program in Max. I used it to step through a pre-rendered animation that I created in Adobe Animate. Finally, I used Reaper for sound and music creation.

Cat & Mouse: Royal Rumble
Oct. 2019 - Dec. 2019
Cat & Mouse: Royal Rumble is a game prototype created in Unity. This project was focused on using an existing IP (intellectual property) to create a game concept. In this case the IP was a story book called The Royal Mouse by Loretta Krupinski. This children's story involves a troupe of castle-dwelling mice defending themselves against cats that the Queen has sent to find them.
My game prototype was modelled after Super Smash Bros. and other fighting games. For this prototype I created basic a environment, a modular asset kit, props, a hero asset, and a rig for a controllable character.
Environment assets were modelled in Maya. Props including the hero sword were modelled in 3DS Max. Texturing was done in Photoshop and Substance Painter.

Jack of Altona Meadows
Jul. 2018 - Aug. 2018
Jack of Altona Meadows is a graphic design piece I created for my friend, musician, and jack of all trades Captain Brando!.
I had a number of goals for this project that, put together, made it quite challenging to create: First, I wanted to mimic the detail found in standard face cards. Second, I wanted to incorporate as many details relevant to my friend's life and interests. Finally, I wanted the design to be radially symmetric (symmetric around the center).
The design was largely influenced by my friend's musical talent. I incorporated instruments he could play including guitar, drums, and piano/keyboard. There red and black triangular pattern is divided by tiny drumsticks. A short-lived record label known as the Reading Room inspired the coffee cup and series of opening books.
Altona Meadows refers to my friend's former alias, as well as the town in Australia where he grew up. A landmark of the town is a large sculpture of a flower by artist Jonathan Leahey. You can see my representation of this sculpture in the jack's hand.
This project was created entirely using the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) and Inkscape, both of which are free, open source alternatives to Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator respectively.

Butterfly Burst
Sep. 2020 - Oct. 2020
Butterfly burst is a visual effect created with Niagara in Unreal Engine 4 as part of my daily practice sessions.
A friend challenged me to create an effect involving butterflies, and I wanted to experiment with particle vertex animation.
In UE version 4.25, meshes spawned as particles cannot have a skeleton, and therefore cannot be animated in the normal way. The way around this is an old but clever method called vertex animation. Vertices are keyed and transform information is stored in textures. Using an appropriate material, the texture will move the mesh as if it was animated with a skeleton.
Luckily, UE4 provides scripts for converting skeletal animation in vertex animation textures, but only for 3DS Max. Thus after finding a good butterfly model, I rigged and animated it in Maya, exported into 3DS Max, and converted the animation into texture data. In the process I uncovered a UE4 material bug, which was passed on to Senior Technical Artist Jon Lindquist.

This project started as an informal video call with the eventual recipient. I got answers to specific questions including their favorite animal, and favorite color. I also heard a previously unheard story about a UFO sighting in a church parking lot.
These were the foundational details for Stargazer. After a quick layout sketch to get my ideas straight, I began production with a free bear rig from CGTrader.com. After making it usable, I textured it in Substance Painter. I then spent the majority of the project creating the fur in Maya's XGen hair and fur system. After animating the bear, I created particle effects to spawn flowers at each footstep.
The church and background were acquired on CGTrader.com and the Unreal Marketplace respectively.

Nov. 2020 - Feb. 2021
Seasons is a project created as a gift for a close friend and as part of my daily practice. The results include 7 different renders for use as phone backgrounds.
Seasons started with an informal interview where I got my friend to steer me in the right direction. I sketched out some rough ideas, deciding to use a row house façade partly covered in ivy. My friend also loves making puzzles, so I knew I wanted to incorporate that somehow.
My original plan was to find a 3D model of a building and work around that, but I quickly realized that the look I was going for was too specific to use a generic asset.
Thus I spent the majority of production modeling and texturing the building. I used foliage assets and a couple surfaces from the Quixel Megascans library. After establishing good lighting, I created 4 variations of the ivy material, and used it to render the scene in 4 different "seasons."
I color-graded each image in GIMP, and used a previously unknown tool called Filter Forge to create a jigsaw puzzle overlay.
