Here’s a quick breakdown of one of my favourite FX I picked up at @utsanimallogicacademy — stylised smoke.
The smoke dissipation took a lot of trial & definitely wouldn’t get this far without my FX lead’s @raphael.gadot support.
It has been an incredible journey working on Oniko with director Alex Weight, CG leads Ross Anderson & the team & my cohort at Ala.
Also shoutout to Alexandre Chabot & @_not.pranav._ for lighting & comp this shot.

Working on the melting environment FX was so much fun! My favourite part is that the setup is fully procedural and can be reused across as many assets as the story requires!
A big shoutout to my FX Lead/Director @raphael.gadot for his direct mentorship, and to Director Ross Anderson , Creative Lead Alex Weight, the entire @utsanimallogicacademy team & all my cohorts for making this short film happening.

STORM 🌪️🌊
A recent #VFX shot I worked on + breakdown.
The most challenging part of creating this shot was figuring out the interaction between the tornado and the surface of the sea. I wanted to ensure the tornado didn’t just float unrealistically on the water. Another challenge was the sky extension, as I didn’t have enough time to simulate the entire sky.
