Ho Diec Food Storage Room

Ho Diec Food Storage Room is a CG recreation of a 2D concept art by Tian Gan. I am responsible for all CG aspects.

The Ho Diec Tribe is set in a reimagined world of Horizon Zero Dawn (2017) created by Tian Gan. While I have never played Horizon Zero Dawn before, I have watched a lot of their gameplay videos and I am an avid lover of open-world games. I wanted to convey a lived-in environment and push my abilities to model, texture, light, and composite a scene. This project was an opportunity for me to also Maya's fluid system by creating a smoke just like in the concept. Check out the final render and the breakdown video below!

Athena : Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare

Athena is based on a concept by Brian Matyas. I wanted to push my ability to create semi-realistic characters that could look like they belong in an animation or a game. I am a big fan of Assassin's Creed Odyssey and took 3D inspirations from them on top of the 2D concept. Checkout the project breakdown below!

Chasing Indomie

Chubby's friends play a prank on him and make him chase for his lunch, a delicious packet of widely famous Indonesian instant noodles, Indomie Goreng. 

Chasing Indomie is a collaborative project where I was in charge of the drone's model, rig, and textures as well as the overall surfacing, look development, and lighting of the animated short.  I wanted the environment to feel like it is set in slum areas of Jakarta, Indonesia, my hometown

Industrial Apartment Living Room

I absolutely love the industrial interior aesthetic and it's always been my dream to own a place with that style, hence I chose to create it for this project. I worked on both the lighting and the look development of the scene. The textures were a mix of some painted maps in Substance Painter and also maps from Quixel Megascans. It was also a challenge to find a camera angle that makes a small space like an apartment living room look large.
