Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is an enhanced version of the acclaimed open-world action-adventure game for PS5 that immerses players in the captivating world of feudal Japan. The Director’s Cut added a whole new part of the world with a brand new story line and characters. During this project I was responsible for technical aspects of the animation pipeline. This included facial capture retargeting, cloth assets rigging, and in-engine asset setups. I created cloth data for nearly all clothing assets for the new Pirate Faction, simulation data for the new Horse Armor and Saddle Bags, and facial capture for several new and recurring characters including the pirate leader, Fune, and the main character Jin.

Homestead Arcana is a charming indie Unity game set in a fantasy world, focusing on relationships, farming, and stealth gameplay elements. During my time on this project I was focused on creating gameplay and cinematic animations, solving character animation and technical bugs, creating python pipeline scripts, rigging new characters, and rigging new clothing assets for the main player character. Throughout this project I developed proficiency with Unity, it’s procedural rigging plugins, C#, and Python scripting. Homestead Arcana became my third published and available to play game that I worked on.

Metamorphos is a third-person hack-and-slash game inspired by Dark Souls. Players take on the role of the temple's guardian, fighting their way through corrupted denizens, wildlife, and warriors in a beautiful desert environment. The goal is to confront Nafaset the Defiler, and restore the blessed oases. The game features fast-paced melee combat, challenging enemies, and immersive audio. During this student project, I was responsible for rigging all characters, developing procedural rigging scripts for Maya to aid in the rigging pipelines, and animating the final Boss enemy to align with the combat system. Metamorphos is my first published and available-to-play game.

I design, lead, and lecture for a sophomore Unreal Engine Projects class at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Sophomores start the year with only minimal knowledge of the Unreal Engine and are given timeframes of ~7 weeks to conceptualize, plan, and execute on a short film idea. As students gain experience through the class, film lengths increase. Students are lectured on a wide variety of subjects within the Unreal Engine and in cinematography. The goal of the course is to give students experience with modern tools and future pipelines that are starting to be utilized and desired in the film industry today. Techniques include motion capture, digital production, and real time rendering.
