Nihil - CG Animated Short - Dissertation Project

Nihil is a CG animated short I created for my dissertation. The video revolves around a soldier dealing with PTSD.
Models were created in Maya with the exclusion of the character models (Made by Ahmad Alabas, 3DCadNav and 3DHaupt) and Quixel assets. Texturing was done within Substance Painter, and animation was done withing Maya. Houdini was used for producing the dynamics throughout (smoke, fire etc.). All shots were rendered using Arnold.
