Sea of Space
A personal project alongside my graduation film. The goal of this project was to develop my realism skills and create a face from 3D scan data that I created myself, then polish and retopologies so that I could add animation as well.
Shao Nian - Character model
Stylised character side project. Complete sculpt, model, textures and rig from concept to model.
The Dumpling
A short film idea pitch. My work consisted of both characters from concept to models, retopologised and rigged. Asset creation, set design and poster design.
