Winter Night

2025, Autodesk Maya

This 3D modeled animation project is currently a work in progress, expected to be a finished short by the end of April. I am creating all the 3D assets for the film, such as the character model, snowman, trees, cabin, logs and sled, using Autodesk Maya. The story takes place inside the world of a snow globe, following the snow girl throughout the evening as she takes part in various winter activities, such as building a snowman, sledding and sitting by a fire pit. This project focuses on working through the fundamental aspects of 3D modeling in the Maya software, including creating clean models, the rigging process, the UV mapping process and utilizing the camera tools to create dynamic shots.
