3D Animation

Although I wouldn't claim mastery in 3D animation, my passion for the craft has always been evident. While in college, I enthusiastically engaged in a 3D animation course, leveraging Autodesk Maya. Although I'm not yet an expert, I'm immensely proud of the work I produced during this time, which I'm eager to share. I am particularly pleased to have conceptualized, modeled, and animated every aspect of the showcased video independently. Looking ahead, I am enthusiastic about further developing my skills in 3D animation.
