     『 3D Modeling & Sculpting 』

                              ( 3D Hard Surface Modeling )

                                                " Vehicle "

This is an early 3d hard surface model I made in Maya. I chose the Mercedes Benz AMG G63 as a reference because I like the overall look of the vehicle.

                          ( 3D Environment Modeling )

                                             " Hallway "

I was mesmerized by this image the first time I saw it, it gave me a serene but somewhat eerie feeling, which is why I used it as a reference. Here's the link to it:

From the beginning of the sketching phase until the finalization of this environment model.

                                   ( Creature Sculpting )

                                  " Nightmare - Lonely "

My create sculpting artwork is based on the artwork of an Artstation artist - Yin Zhe. When I first saw his artwork, I was already fascinated and had the idea to make 3D models of all of them. I chose Lonely as a reference because I liked the story and setting that Yin Zhe designed for it, a hunting feast for a bunch of vile beasts!

                                  ( Character Modeling )

                                          " Iori Yagami "

I choose Iori Yagami for my character modeling portfolio because I like his personality and hairstyle so much. Character modeling requires you to have a strong understanding of anatomy in order to make good looking characters, and I still need a lot of practice in this part.

            『 VFX & 3D Rigging 』

                               ( Maya Technical Studies )

First attempt at making a VFX in Maya and it was fun, a lot of operations that made me unexpected. Also I would like to say that 3D Rigging is really a bit difficult for me.

                                      ( Unity Game VFX )

Before I got into game effects I always thought it wouldn't be too hard, it wasn't until I started making game effects with Unity Engine that I realized it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, but the process was really fun!

 『 Rendering & Compositing 』

I finally realized how long it takes to render a film, so I admire those who render short films and movies. I also experienced the work of 3D Generalist in this class, and it is not easy to accomplish so many tasks in a certain time.

                                         [ Dusty Mood ]

                                         [ Gloomy Mood ]

                                         [ Fantasy Mood ]

This is my concept idea. My idea is to express the inner world of victims of school bullying. Although I may not be able to express it well, I hope that through my work, I can make people understand more about the pain experienced by victims of school bullying, which causes them to feel stressed and uneasy about their school life, and I hope that I can inspire them to be brave enough to face the difficulties, and not to easily bow down to the school bullies!

          『 Rendering Study 』

I used assets from Megascans in order to test the rendering effects of the Unreal Engine, and I learned some of the basics of the Unreal Engine in this lesson. This scene setup I refer to the Magnet VFX's tutorial video, here's the link to it :

                                       There are 4 different camera shots for my scene.
