BREAKDOWN:

1. "Twin Sparks" Short Film

Twin Sparks is Heather Yun and I's SVA senior thesis film set to come out in Spring 2023! I've always been inspired by stylized 3D, and am super excited show off all I've learned about the medium in this film! I'm responsible for the shading, lighting, and FX in this shot, which was done in a combination of Houdini, Blender, and Nuke. Animation is done by my thesis partner Heather.

2. Four Items Three Ways

A short personal project seeing how I could use Houdini attributes to shade in Maya/Arnold. I wanted to try it out with some unconventional shaders, so I did a jade shader and a donut shader! Models were acquired from TurboSquid.

3. Stylized Fire

Simulated in Houdini, composited in Nuke. Proof of concept test for my upcoming thesis film. Music is "I Lost All My Eggs" by Shawn Wasabi.
