AWS Education Re:Invent 2024

For this project, I worked alongside Unity Developer Zac King, Creative Director Steve Deitz, Designer Chloe Kim, and Visual Content Artist Justin Foshee to create an interactive experience for Amazon Web Services’ Education division. We worked with the client to bring their vision of a populated college environment to life. I modeled and blocked out a low-poly city environment, set up lighting and materials to give it color, created some simple 3D animations, and put together a series of particle VFX using Unity VFX Graph to add pop and flair to each building selection. Once the VFX was created, I created detailed handoff instructions to our Dev team for implementation, making sure we were in sync, and the FX were and final 3D look was to the client’s liking.
