This reel showcases my 3D Animation and Motion Capture work from 2024 through to August 2025. The work was created using Maya, Motion Builder, and a bit of Blender at the start.<\/p>

This year, I\u2019ve been focused on a year-long capstone project developing a First Person Action Platformer in Unreal Engine. There’s still plenty in progress, but I\u2019m excited to share some snippets of what I\u2019ve created so far.<\/p>

Hope you enjoy it. I’m looking forward to sharing lots more by the end of the year!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
