Swan Lake
Project Type: VFX, Compositing, Lighting
| Date: January 2026
Software: Unreal Engine, Substance Painter, Blender
A collaborative VFX-based composite image, imagining a ballerina dancer and an elegant black swan, meeting in a winter lake scene. I took a pre-modeled online asset of a swan and created my own custom wings on top of the swan's body, in ZBrush. I textured the swan in Adobe Substance Painter, and modeled the tiara and textured it in Adobe Substance Painter. I also matched camera angles and lighting, recreated the shoot setup, and accurately lit CG items in Blender.
