Visual Design and Animation

These projects were from my previous position as a 3D Animator / CAD Designer at EcoFasten Solar / Alpine Snowguards. I am solely responsible for the design, planning, and creation of animations, product renderings, and visual graphics for marketing materials. This media includes promotional videos, install instructions, and sell sheets.

The process I have developed for this begins in Solidworks with product designs from engineering or myself. The models are then brought into Maya to be cleaned up, animated, and exported to Unreal Engine 4. Using various scenes and materials I have created for rendering in UE4, I build the animations using the sequencer tools and render them in real time. Finally, I touch up any footage and final composites in After Effects.

I chose this pipeline to leverage Unreal Engine's capabilities of real time rendering in order to maximize the turn around time on projects while allowing for quick and easy design iterations, and product updates.
