I currently work with Adobe Fuse characters and create custom animations using nCloth simulations in Maya. I then export and integrate these animations into Unity in order to incorporate them into VR experiences.

Persistant Studios,
France
I worked on a set of tutorials that teach Visual Effects Artists how to use PopcornFX’s particle system software. Through my work, I paid close attention to how users learned and stay engaged during tutorials and used this information to create more effective videos to teach the software to others.
PopcornFX is a company under Persistant Studios that specializes in creating particle effects. They create their own in-house software, but also create effects for various different companies.
