Hair technique and dance
Advanced hair simulation and character animation using Blender exclusively. This project showcases sophisticated hair dynamics through Blender's particle systems, featuring realistic hair physics that respond naturally to character movement. The animation explores expressive dance choreography with fluid motion capture, dynamic lighting setups, and seamless character rigging. Complex hair strand behavior, wind simulation, and collision detection create lifelike hair movement that enhances the emotional storytelling of the dance performance.
3D Animation Project
Complete recreation of the Windows 11 background with advanced 3D animation techniques. This project rebuilds the iconic Windows 11 wallpaper using Blender for 3D modeling and environment creation, combined with After Effects for post-production and motion graphics. Features procedural landscape generation, volumetric lighting, atmospheric effects, and smooth camera movements that bring the static wallpaper to life with dynamic visual storytelling.
Dynamic Motion Composition
A cutting-edge motion graphics piece showcasing advanced compositing techniques and fluid animation principles. This project demonstrates mastery of timing, easing, and visual hierarchy through sophisticated layer management and dynamic transitions. Features custom particle systems, procedural animations, and seamless integration of 2D and 3D elements that create a cohesive visual narrative with professional-grade execution.
Fire Night Animation
Atmospheric low-poly animation created entirely in Blender, focusing on stylized fire effects and dramatic nighttime lighting. This project emphasizes sound design integration with realistic fire crackling SFX, ambient night sounds, and atmospheric audio layers. Features custom low-poly modeling techniques, procedural fire simulation, dynamic lighting that responds to flame movement, and environmental storytelling through carefully crafted mood and atmosphere.
Car Animation
Photorealistic automotive animation combining Blender's advanced rendering capabilities with After Effects post-production. Features realistic car physics, detailed material work with accurate paint reflections, dynamic camera movements, and comprehensive sound design. The project includes engine audio, tire sounds, environmental acoustics, and atmospheric effects that create an immersive automotive experience with cinematic quality visuals and audio.
Train in Nature
Low-poly environmental animation showcasing a train journey through stylized natural landscapes. Created entirely in Blender with emphasis on minimalist modeling techniques, procedural terrain generation, and atmospheric lighting. The project features dynamic camera work following the train's path, seasonal environment changes, particle effects for steam and environmental elements, and a cohesive low-poly aesthetic that balances simplicity with visual impact.
Adventure Cave
Immersive cave exploration animation transitioning from a simple donut shape to a complex underground environment. Created in Cinema 4D with advanced lighting techniques, dynamic camera movements, and atmospheric effects. Features procedural cave generation, realistic rock textures, volumetric lighting that creates dramatic shadows and highlights, and smooth camera transitions that guide the viewer through the underground adventure with cinematic storytelling.
Smartphone in Motion
Hyperrealistic smartphone animation showcasing advanced product visualization techniques in Blender. Features precise modeling of smartphone components, realistic material shaders for glass and metal surfaces, dynamic lighting setups, and sophisticated sound design. The animation includes UI interactions, screen reflections, environmental audio, and cinematic camera work that highlights the device's design and functionality with commercial-quality presentation.
