I‘m honored that the Elastic team won an Emmy Award. I’m grateful to @tznadia and @elastic.tv for inviting me in 2022 to participate in the early development of the opening sequence for ‘The Last of Us’. It was an honor to work alongside other talented teammates! I also met many friends during this time @min_shi_art , @andrewuk@paulmitchell_director@bryanplust@kowskima also thanks to @kimgryun and @woosung__k for hosting such a well-organized party after the award. Attending such party for the first time was really fun! Thanks to @atom63_ for showing us around and introducing us to the American way of life when we first arrived in the USA. See you guys next time 👋 and Thank you!(thanks all the photos you guys provided!)
Last year I was pleased to collobrate with @somei_sun@chiu22 to design a similar animation device "Phenakistoscope" to show the vintage mood of animating but in an artistic way. All the CG animation was made by the mighty team of @chiu22 , full film was directed by @somei_sun , you can view here: /bangumi/play/ep1226872
Character test for personal work, try to bring the "strange thing" vibe but in Asia. The clothes is a mix of school uniform and Asia tranditional clothing. All done in Cinema 4D with octane, character done using DAZ3D, environment prop assets by @deanszh #cinema4d #octanerender #c4dart #render3d #digitalart #3dart #daz3d
A few months ago, I started this personal project as a test. It was supposed to be a short film with a friend @deanszh , but it turned out to be too hard and time-consuming, so I decided to share it bit by bit.(Hope it can be finished one day😂) The idea is about some surreal 'Stranger Things'-like events happening in an Asian city. This shot shows the weird vibes in the city right before things get strange. Made this one directly in C4D and rendered with OCTANE, upscaled usingMagnificAi #cinema4d #octanerender #c4dart #render3d #digitalart #3dart
Post some old works, here is a 3D animation from personal work Miracle love(full : behance.net/zaoeyo). Made with Cinema 4D and Octane render. #cinema4d #octanerender #c4dart #render3d #digitalart #3dart
Had a fantastic time collaborating with @studiotendril and @worship.studio on the rebranding concept design for @valorantesports years ago. I made tons of background concept, was really fun! #cinema4d #octanerender
Huge thanks to @tznadia for inviting me to create styleframes for the opening sequence of the recent TV show ”Shogun“ on @fxnetworks .
I crafted all the styleframes based on her storyboard and @ilya.tselyutin ‘s initial concept, and also created the previs animation for the sequence. It was an amazing experience working with the team. Thanks to everyone involved! : )

It’s been five years since the release of Awaken Akira. Taking a moment to reflect on the journey, the tremendous learning experience, and the joy of bringing this project to life. For those new to this endeavor, Awaken Akira is a collaborative tribute to the iconic anime Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo.

Street shot from recent work, again, keeping trying the hardcore anime vibe but also very octane.... (straight out from octane with simple CC). it's very handy to use some scan assets to build up the front scene. If we use detailed assets near the camera and low detailed assets far away, which could save some design power and Vram : ) #cinema4d #octanerender #c4d #octane
Recent work with Somei and amazing teammates, working on envrionment styleframe for new iQOO commericial. Trying to use Cinema4D and octane render straight out the final image, making all the compositing work inside the render without AfterEffects. At that time, I looked into lots of texture and lighting inspirations from Patlabor (機動警察パトレイバー2 the Movie)‘s environment, trying to add a little classical anime vibe. #cinema4d #octanerender #c4d #conceptart
Practice, trying to have detailed bokeh on Octane render(optical vignetting), the character was made using DAZ3D, and clothes were assembled using MD. #cinema4d #octanerender
