“Zen” is an animated short set in a bamboo forest, where a mechanical samurai arrives upon a glade to practice a bamboo-cutting routine set to hip-hop fusion music.
I had the pleasure of sculpting and surfacing several nature props. After building and sculpting the landscape, I implemented team assets according to pre-production documents, supplemented with Quixel assets. Our short was rendered in Unreal Engine, proudly one of the first in a pipeline shift within Visualization at Texas A&M.
