Description

This project was created for a 3D Animation Pipeline class and explores the full production process—from concept and character design to modeling, rigging, animation, and compositing. Set in a mysterious deep-sea world, it follows a scientist-diver collecting rare ocean creatures. I handled every stage of production, including character and prop design, 3D modeling, animation, lighting, and rendering. The project was realized as a solo work using Maya, Substance Painter, Arnold, Nuke, and After Effects.
