SUCK IT UP!


Suck It Up! from Alex W. Wong on Vimeo.



A little vacuum discovers he likes food more than dirt.

My contributions:

Animation: All daytime scenes up until the choking of the owner.
Modeling: Vacuum, hands, lightbulb, screwdriver, surgery table, repair room.
Lighting: All lighting except for some of the night kitchen scene.
Texture/Shading: Surgery table, hands, lightbulb, screwdriver, outside of windows.
Also heavily contributed to story, layout, and art direction.



THE PURGE



A creature attempts to purge himself of lingering guilt.



KILL BILL VS. MOZART



One of my first animations.  The assignment was to be inspired by a "masterpiece."  I chose Kill Bill and Mozart's Symphony #25.




FLIGHT

Recorded video of a my partnered graphics course final project.

Coded using OpenGL. 

Collaboration on the flight path, which is a series of Bezier curves. The equation determines the position of the aircraft, the derivative at a point determines the direction the craft is facing, and the second derivative at a point determines the tilt of the craft.

I implemented the normal mapping on the terrain, as well as the aircraft shader which is a combination of a metal shader and a rim lighting shader.

My partner created the terrain using a Perlin noise function, and he carved the path for the plane using the Bezier curves mentioned.

Exists within a skybox.
