    paper 3D EQ Ninja Character

    Client: https://eqninjas.com/
    Goal: Create high-quality, fast-turnaround animations
    to bring his cartoon ninja characters to life.

    Process:
    I designed and animated four unique ninja characters and a custom ninja logo, followed by a 15-second action-packed video. Using Blender for character animation and After Effects for compositing, I focused on fluid motion, lighting precision, and dynamic visuals to match the client’s playful and energetic style.

    paper UFO Grain Aeration System Animation

    Client: Daniel Engel

    Project Goal:
    Daniel wanted a realistic 3D animation showing airflow movement inside a grain bin with clear upward circulation. I followed his storyboard, removed unnecessary competitor elements, and created a cross-sectional 3D view to highlight airflow dynamics and grain detail. I focused on achieving a perfect balance between realism and functionality, ensuring each element felt both engineered and visually striking. The modeling and animation demanded deep attention to surface details, lighting, and assembly accuracy. You can clearly see the effort in every frame each bolt, curve, and structure was refined multiple times to achieve this realistic industrial finish.
