Adventures in Lighting: Unreal Engine 5

I have had a passion for games, animation, and film ever since I was young. It has been a dream of mine to work in these industries and be successful in them. I hope that you will look through some of the work I have made when pursuing this field of interest and other creative outlets. I currently have notable experience in Microsoft Office, Maya, Blender, Nuke, Unity, After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.

Brief Essay:

As the introduction states, Games and Animation, in general, have played a big part in shaping who I am as a person. I am motivated by the improvement of my skills, the praise, and critiques of my peers and colleagues around me. I want to create breathtaking 3D art, assets, animations, and projects in general so that those around me are inspired to do the same and acquire a drive that allows them to find fulfillment in a creative outlet, just like I did and am still experiencing. I also want to enter an industry that lets me be creative and show works that I can be proud of. I strive to broaden my horizons and involve myself in any creative project I find interest in such as animation, game design, digital art, writing, video editing, etc. The last thing I want to do is limit my creativity and potential so I try my best to improve in whatever creative or competitive role I find myself in. For those reading this, I want to thank you for getting this far and looking through what I have to offer, and keep in mind that I am continuously improving. If you like a copy of my resume or would be so kind as to offer me advice, criticism, or opportunities, the best way to reach me is my school email: apj200000@utdallas.edu. Thank you.
