Complete 3D Animation Masterclass: Create Animated Shorts
This showcases my 3D generalist skillset through the projects I developed for my Udemy course, Complete 3D Animation Master Class: Create Animated Shorts. As the course instructor, I designed and executed each aspect of the curriculum, covering modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, compositing, and even sound design to guide students through the entire production pipeline.
Whether you're an aspiring 3D artist or an industry professional, this reel highlights the kind of practical, hands-on learning experience my course provides.

Course Final project Video
The storyboard for the final project was kept minimal in the demonstration to not overwhelm students due to the scope of the project. Students are encouraged to add their own twist to it based on how much additional effort they want to put in.
This character was designed to be simple for beginners yet complicated enough to teach elements of organic modeling and ranging techniques such as IK and FK systems.
This asset was to demonstrate the basics of symmetry, hard surface modeling for subdivision, and using duplicated elements for set dressing.
This asset was designed to demonstrate radial symmetry and cylindrical and spherical hard surface techniques.
This rig covers the key elements of a character rig introducing students to the core principles of rigging without getting too complex.
Course Mid-term project
I cover the basics of Storyboarding from the perspective of planning a personal animation project, but also as a practical industry skill.
This character is built entirely out of geometric primitives to demonstrate to students modeling doesn't have to be super complicated!
This rig serves as an introduction to the concept of hierarchical rigging without needing to get into the more complicated aspects of joints and skinning.
This 1st project is an all around introduction to Maya, using geometric primitives and lambert materials to build an environment, then exploring how transforms and pivots can bring a ball to life with animations!
