Disney Training shots
These shots were part of the training I received during my time as a trainee at Walt Disney Animation Studios. Here I learned more about art direction in both hair and cloth by using a variety of constraints/winds/ cloth, and hair properties.
I am only responsible for the hair and cloth simulation.

Dulce
Dulce is a short animated film for my senior thesis that I’ve directed and created alongside Lok Cheang, and Kevin Class. I was responsible for the story, character designs/modeling, texturing, groom and cloth/groom simulation.
The hair guides were transferred into Houdini to create the simulation and then transferred into Maya to render with XGen, using Arnold as the renderer

Dulce is a short animated film for my senior thesis that I’ve directed and created alongside Lok Cheang, and Kevin Class. I was responsible for the story, character designs/modeling, texturing, groom and cloth/groom simulation.
The characters and props were textured in Substance Painter, and groomed using XGen in Maya. The texture variation was created with a render pass of the textures as well as a facing ratio in Arnold and put together with compositing.

No Photography is a short film by Grace Redclift, Vincent Wang, Kaifu Tan, and Lance Haug. I was responsible for texturing the hero props in Substance Painter.
Boat Project
This project was in collaboration with Victoria Venturini. The concept was created by Elli Lebedeva. I was responsible for texturing and shading!
