As usual, the project starts with gathering on-site reference and then working out what changes are going to be made to the actual ground.

Animating for Mechanical Engineers
Animated internal linkages. When creating animations for complex equipment the most important thing is nailing the bone order and rotation axes. While a layman may not even notice any unintentional sliding an engineer will absolutely spot it and call you out on it immediately.

Isometric Scenes
I loved the trend of these little isometric scenes that were going around a couple years ago. I was tasked with creating some stylized animations for a blockchain security company illustrating their product recently and decided to give the style a chance for myself. Simple Isometric Scene
