Isabelle Model
2020, Autodesk Maya, Photoshop
This was my first attempt at modeling a character in Maya, and my first few little steps into rigging. This model is based on the character "Isabelle" from Animal Crossing. I did everything for this project from scratch, from modeling the mesh to hand-painting the textures in Photoshop, creating the UV layout, doing a simple rig on the character, and finally making a short animation.
"The Fall"
2019, After Effects, Photoshop, Autodesk Maya
Plot: Essentially a dramatized film about a pencil falling from a desk.
This was my first animated short film. I made it over the course of a couple of months for an intro-to-animation class. It was my first time opening After Effects or Maya. Playing around and figuring out the programs was a lot of fun and got me really excited about the field I am going into. Every part of this short film was created by me, from the illustrations to the 3D model to the sound effects., and of course all the animations. I wanted to take a very ordinary and anticlimactic action and overly-dramatize it.
