3D Texture Painting, 2D VFX for animated film "The Sculptor"
"The Sculptor"
3D asset texture painting using Substance Painter for "The Sculptor," an upcoming 3D animated film.
My role was to texture 3D models that are intended for use as props in the film. The director envisioned a painterly stylization for these objects, leading me to study the texture techniques of Netflix's Arcane Show, which is a significant source of inspiration for me. My goal is to achieve a blended 2D/3D look for these models, staying true to the director's vision.
Texture Painter: Myself, Chloe Loren Chan
3D Modeller: Elaine Wah

"Toad Bakery"
I collaborated with a 3D Artist and creative coder M.Zikou in creation of an augmented reality (AR) Bakery App "Toad World" for London's Toad Bakery. This interactive app allows users to project the bakery into their real-world surroundings through their device cameras, creating a unique virtual experience where users can freely interact with the objects in the bakery.
In this project, my primary responsibility was to texture-paint and replicate the bakery's iconic pastries, including their renowned Danish, morning bun, jaffa, steakbake, chocobun, and more. To ensure accuracy, I visited the bakery in person, purchasing their pastries as references for meticulously detailing each item in 3D. Additionally, I contributed to texturing various elements such as trees, leaves, and charming little frog characters to resemble the working staff at the real bakery!
