A furnished apartment shot as camera sequences: kitchen, shelving, bedroom and bathroom, with warm interior light and daylight through the windows. Four excerpts from a 2 min 18 s sequence.

My role Learning project. Built the room shells, modeled and reworked props (some were downloaded and improved), UV unwrapped and textured, set materials and lighting, assembled the scene and animated the sequence in Unreal.

Tools Unreal Engine 5

A turntable with a labelled record, a gold-record wall with framed art, and a shelving unit with numbered shelves of miniature furniture.

My role Learning project. Modeled in Blender, UV unwrapped in RizomUV, then textured, lit, shot with cameras and rendered in Unreal.

A glowing particle cloud that moves with the music. Press play and unmute for sound. Twenty seconds from a 3 min 27 s sequence.

One piece followed through the whole pipeline: modeled from reference, UV unwrapped, textured with a painted portrait, aircraft motifs and woven panels, then placed in an Unreal scene.

One character from start to finish: spiked-crown base mesh with round shades and shorts, the costume version with a cap, a textured render in a dark set, then the sculpting capture and the mariachi version with straw sombrero, plaid shirt, quilted shorts, gold boots, star vest and a separately modeled banjo.

My role Modeled, UV unwrapped, textured and rendered. Rigging and animation are by another artist.

A daisy with a face and her hand-built cart: clay, fine surface detail, fur variants, a rusted cart with large spoked wheels, springs and handlebars, and a full scene with a milk can, a bus stop and a tiny airplane.

My role Modeled the character, cart and props, UV unwrapped, textured and rendered. Rigging and animation are by another artist.

A complete asset from model to final render: clean mesh, UV layout checked in RizomUV, leatherette and worn-metal textures. Rendered twice, as a steel and leather camera on location and as a brass one in a bus depot. The clip shows the checker test used to verify texel density.

My role One of my first works. Modeled, UV unwrapped, textured and rendered.
