Description

This short animation I made in 3D features a Star Wars X-Wing flying through a moody, rainy environment. I wanted to capture a cinematic and atmospheric feeling, blending sci-fi with a grounded, almost melancholic tone. The 3D work was done entirely in Blender, focusing on lighting, animation, and rain simulation to enhance the realism. Compositing was handled in After Effects, where I refined the visual effects and added depth and motion blur. Final color grading and sound design were completed in DaVinci Resolve, bringing everything together into a cohesive, immersive scene. This was a fun and challenging project to push my skills in animation, atmosphere, and storytelling through visuals.
