This visual project for Norma Kamali and Marc Jacobs was created by Nargiza Iskakova using my own workflow, developed while studying and experimenting with new technologies in SideFX Houdini.
The process began by scanning the model inside a photogrammetry rig, then generating a high-resolution 3D model in RealityCapture. The scans were further cleaned in ZBrush and the textures refined in Substance Painter. The environment was built in Cinema 4D and rendered in Redshift, with the final scene assembled in SideFX Houdini. To expand the concept further, I applied Gaussian Splatting in PostShot, transforming the visuals into a unique dimensional language.
This project represents my exploration of how fashion design and experimental 3D workflows can merge, pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling in fashion.

This hand-crafted stop motion film was built entirely from cut-out elements, each piece carefully designed and animated by hand. Using a self-built stop motion machine, I and my collaborators cut every component, staged, and shot frame by frame to bring the story to life. The process blended traditional animation craftsmanship with patience and experimentation, resulting in a tactile, intimate film that highlights the beauty of manual creation in the digital age.

As part of a short film produced in Virtual Production, I developed ultra-dynamic clouds that transformed in real time on the LED wall. The environment was built in Unreal Engine and extended with glass screens featuring integrated VFX HUD designs. I optimized both the scene and the cloud system, and used Pixera to run the visuals on the wall during production.
The setup worked flawlessly, allowing us to achieve all creative and technical goals efficiently, and the shooting process ran smoothly, quickly, and on schedule.
The VFX HUD on the transparent screen was created in Adobe After Effects. I used motion tracking with masks to align the graphics inside the characters’ eyes, and built multiple layered elements to design a futuristic sci-fi interface.

This film was created and edited by me during my studies at NYU as part of a special Runway AI course on generative filmmaking. Using AI-generated video and voice in Runway, I shaped it to mimic the pacing and tone of mid-century advertising, it is selling a future no one asked for, with a smile.
Glossy, absurd, and unsettling, the piece layers corporate optimism over an undercurrent of quiet dread.
I generated stills and then animated video sequences in Runway, used Act-Two to add voice and facial mimicry for the main narrator, and completed the compositing and editing in Adobe After Effects.

For Regenesis, I was responsible for both the creative planning and technical execution. I began by creating the storyboard to outline the sequence and flow of the performance. The choreography was recorded with a Vicon motion capture system, and I retargeted the captured motion data in MotionBuilder for use with the digital character.
I constructed the environment in Unreal Engine, where I adjusted the scene layout, lighting, and atmosphere. The final video was edited and composited in After Effects, where I synchronized the captured performance with the environment and added visual refinements.
This process involved the complete pipeline from pre-visualization (storyboard) to final output, with work spanning motion capture, retargeting, environment creation, and compositing.
