I create cinematic, anime-style action animations that look powerful, emotional, and memorable. If you want dynamic fight scenes, dramatic camera movement, and a 2D-anime feel using 3D, you’re in the right place. What I specialize in: ⚔️ Anime-style cinematic fight scenes (high impact, sakuga-inspired) 🎥 Dynamic camera work (handheld, low-angle, smash zooms, follow cams) 🌀 3D → 2D anime look (stylized lighting, compositing, impact frames) 🧠 Story-driven action (not random punches — every hit has meaning) 🤖 AI-assisted workflows to save time without losing quality Tools I use: 1.Blender (animation, lighting, camera) 2.After Effects (compositing, motion, FX) 3.Mixamo / custom rigs 4.AI tools (for faster iterations, not lazy results)

Turning complex engineering into clear, high-quality visual presentations. As a Mechanical Engineer and Professional 3D Animator, I bridge the gap between technical data and engaging video content. Running the "Anscience" technical explainer channel has helped me develop the ability to break down complicated concepts into videos that are easy to understand. I do not just animate things; I know exactly how they work in the real world. By working directly with your large CAD files, blueprints, and reference photos, I make sure everything is physically accurate. Whether you are launching a sleek new consumer product or pitching a massive industrial machine with thousands of parts, there is no guesswork—just precise, well-timed mechanics that look highly professional. Core Services Offered Commercial Product Animation: High-quality 360° spins, close-up details, and sleek promotional videos for consumer goods. Physically Accurate Working Animations: Precise motion for industrial machinery and mechanical parts. Assembly, Teardown & Exploded Views: Step-by-step videos showing how parts fit together. Cross-Sectional & X-Ray Views: Dynamic see-through visuals revealing hidden internal mechanics. Realistic Physics Simulations: True-to-life fire, smoke, and fluid flow visualizations, powered by Houdini for accurate real-world interactions and behavior, not just approximated effects. Detailed Educational Explainers: Multi-minute technical videos and training modules. Immersive Mechanical Sound Effects: Adding weight and realism to the final video. The Production Workflow Technical Review: Looking over your CAD files, blueprints, and engineering data to understand how the product or machine works, the gear sizes, and the real-world scale. Accurate 3D Modeling: Cleaning up imported CAD data or building highly detailed 3D models from scratch so that even massive projects run smoothly and look perfect. Mechanical Rigging & Physics: Setting up moving parts so they function naturally, and using Houdini to simulate real-world fluid, airflow, fire, and rigid-body interactions with genuine physical accuracy. Scene Setup & Visual Labels: Adding clear 3D directional arrows and text labels that fit perfectly into the environment to point out important components. Multi-Pass Rendering & Final Polish: Using a multi-layer workflow to render elements like shadows, lighting, and reflections separately. This allows for precise control when mixing the video layers, adjusting colors, and adding heavy sound effects for a finished, commercial-ready video. Software & Setup Blender 3D: Main software for modeling, mechanical rigging, and rendering 4K video. Houdini: Used for real-world physics simulations — fluid flow, fire, smoke, and rigid-body interactions — so effects behave as they would in reality, not just visually approximated. DaVinci Resolve: Used for multi-pass compositing (mixing the different rendering layers) and adjusting colors for a professional, cinematic look. Adobe After Effects: Adding final text graphics and visual overlays.
