I've been working on a 3D animation these last few months. Should have posted sooner. It will be completed in April 2013. I'll try to post more progress here as I update it on my thesis blog.

My thesis project will be a 2-3 minute 3-D animation created primarily using Maya, ZBrush, Nuke, and Houdini. I will be focusing primarily on character animation and dynamic effects using Houdini including clouds, smoke, water, wind, and fractures.
