LA ROCHE POSAY
In this shot, I learned a lot about compositing in After Effects and how to build assets like the scale ramp with the “+” moving upward.
Adding the heat map taught me how to work with masks and layers in After Effects, even without the level of control I was used to in Nuke.
This was one of the easier shots for me, as I had gained enough After Effects experience to quickly composite the microscopic zoom effect on the models.
I also built the light rig for the product zoom, which was used in other shots as well.
MEDITONSIN EXTRACT
In this project, I worked on most aspects of the tornado.
The client requested a tornado made from the ingredients of their product. A colleague provided a base tornado setup and animated it along a curve, after which I refined the shape, adjusted the number of flowers, tweaked the speed, and fine-tuned the overall look until it met the client’s expectations.

In this commercial, I developed several new skills, including rigging, texturing, and grooming. We began with an AI-generated 3D model created in ComfyUI, which I retopologized to achieve clean geometry. I then UV-unwrapped the model and textured some characters in Substance Painter.
I also gained experience rigging characters in Maya using Advanced Skeleton, which proved to be an efficient tool. After switching to Blender, I groomed eyebrows for several characters and refined material shading until achieving client approval.
Once the environment was finalized by my coworker, I focused on optimizing render times, implementing techniques such as using a gobo for shadow casting instead of a full environment setup, which resulted in noticeable time savings.
On this character I did the retopo, eyebrow grooming and adjusted textures and shading.
Hugh Granite is the character I have worked on the most starting with Retopo to UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging and the eyebrow grooming.

This map was created to showcase the transformation and vision of RRE on a digital table for a fair.
I was responsible for the transition animation and also contributed to modeling several of the house assets.
