3D ANIMATION
Acting and Lipsync Animation | 2nd Year HKU | 2025
This was an animation scene I’ve made for my Acting Animation class. This was the first acting shot where I’ve acted out the scene for an animated dialogue piece. I had previously attempted to do a lipsync animation on my own, but this was the first time I used the pose-to-pose technique instead of animation straight-ahead. I hope to continue working with an self made acting reference, as i found this to be challenging but handy.
Experimenting with 2D Texturing part 2 | 2nd Year HKU | 2024
For our Experimenting with Animation class, we had the opportunity to try out something new. Because my interests have always been in character animation, I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. I started experimenting with texturing, and try to find a way to combine my love for 2D and 3D. To do this I created a single scene and developed 4 texture styles, representing the 4 seasons. I first started researching what visual elements I associate with each season. Then I explored different texture styles and how to create them.
First Years Short | 1st Year HKU | 2024
This was my first years final short I created over a course of 8 weeks. The story is about a single father searching for new love, unaware that his neighbor has feelings for him. His young son tries to help him realize that he should pay more attention to what’s in front of him, and doesn’t have to look far for it.
Since my main focus for this project was the character animation, I chose not to texture or render my film. I also used existing rigs from Pro Rigs for good quality character animation. I also wanted to bring my love for both 2D and 3D animation into this project.
Experimenting with 2D Texturing part 1 | 2nd Year HKU | 2024
This project was an early test version with 2D texturing before the Experimenting with 2D Texturing part 2 in Experimenting with Animation class. In this experiment I explored hand painting textures on 3D objects using Blender and Procreate. I also used Grease Pencil for the first time to add an extra 2D outline effect.
Character Animation Body Mechanics Compilation | 1st Year HKU | 2024
This is a small compilation of animations and poses I created during my Body Mechanics class. Most of the shots in the video are not splined, as we had to focus on the blocking and setting the most important poses in an animation shot before splining. There are also some comparison shots with the references I shot.
Character Animation Cat Walkcycle| 1st Year HKU | 2024
A small front, side and 3/4 cat walkcycle animation I created.
Captcha Introduction | Intership | Captcha Amsterdam | 2022
This was the first 3D character animation I ever made. During my internship at Captcha Amsterdam I was given a lot of free time to develop my skills and interests, which gave me the opportunity to explore 3D animation. Since my main focus at the Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht was 2D animation, I had no prior experience in Maya. With the help of my internship supervisor and various tutorials I crated this character animation as end project for the internship. In the video the character introduces you to the Captcha workplace.
Milk Madness | Cube Animation | 1st Year HKU | 2023
This cube animation was my first self made short film. The goals was to experience the full process of creating an animated short and everything that comes with it. It also served as an exercise in creating a story and learning how to give and receive feedback.
