I’m from a small country called Georgia and moved to the States when I was ten years old. I was always interested in art, photography, and videogames. I came to NJIT to learn how to create visuals and I was introduced to a lot more: 3D modeling, animation, and a whole world of design. Through the ups and downs, many important things were learned. My motto is “pursue the vision”, no matter what obstacles might be in your way, it’s always worth the effort to chase your dreams. There’s no better feeling than bringing your vision to life. Outside of learning design and growing my knowledge, most importantly, I have made many lifelong friends, and we’re all happy to be by each other’s sides at any time. Linkedin, Instagram1, Instagram2

This is my thesis. I have thought about it for at least a year before I even began working on it. I learned a lot along the way. Originally I wanted to render in Unreal Engine, for its realtime rendering capabilities but pivoted to Cinema 4D, Houdini, and Redshift renderer for a much more stylized look. In the end, I was very happy with it. The story follows two cars, the Cybertruck and the Shelby Cobra, through a car chase, instigated by the Cobra, as they travel through time and space. It's a lot of eye candy and a personal take on the Vaporwave aesthetic. Youtube
