Password: Reel2024

Hello! My name is Aleyda Ortiz, a graduate from the School of Visual Arts where I studied Computer Animation and VFX. Here are some of the latest projects that I've worked on! You can find my CFX reel down below.

    • WIP- Cowboy

      • A current personal project where I'm focusing on skin texturing as well as the groom of this character. The concept was created by Julie Lafeuille. Texturing was created in Substance Painter and rendered in Arnold Maya. I am responsible for all aspects of this project.

    • 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 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

      • 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!
