1. X - solo thesis film

 

X is my 3D-animated senior thesis film coming in Spring 2023! Crafted with Unreal Engine 5, I’m delighted to present my film as a testament to my love for sci-fi, mecha, and anime.

As the sole director and creator, I was responsible for the 3D-animated pipeline from Concept, Character Modeling, Character Texturing, Rigging, Set Dressing, Layout, Lighting, and Compositing. Additional Environment Buildings were from Kitbash 3D, and real-time fx were from UE Marketplace.
