The Letter

2025, Autodesk Maya

This 3D animated project follows the story of a cat as he tries to figure out the meaning of a mysterious letter he receives to his house. For this project, I focused on created a fun and dynamic character model that would be able to encapsulate the expressiveness of 2D animated cartoons. I also experimented with combining various 2D animated elements to further push this whimsical cartoon aesthetic. I created all of the 3D models and assets for this project using Autodesk Maya.
