This is a curated collection of defence animations created for recent visualisation projects in the defence sector.
Each animation involved complex technical workflows and many hours of production.
As a freelance 3D artist, I managed every stage of development—design, simulation, rendering, and post-production.
The animations were developed using 3ds Max, V-Ray, PhoenixFD, TyFlow, After Effects, and Photoshop.
I used 3ds Max for modelling, UV mapping, animation, lighting, and material creation.
V-Ray was used for final rendering, with optimised global illumination and denoising for high-quality visual output.
PhoenixFD powered all fluid simulations, including dynamic ocean surfaces and underwater effects.
TyFlow was essential for simulating debris, explosions, dust trails, and other complex particle effects.
These tools ensured accurate results, even in large-scale defence animations.
Character movement was handled using CAT rigs and keyframe animation for lifelike motion.
Tank track animation was solved through custom rigging and spline-based controls.
Environments were built using a mix of heightmaps, scattering tools, and lightweight proxies for efficient viewport handling.
Scene transitions were created with 3D camera cuts and animated masks to maintain a cinematic flow.
Underwater visuals used caustics, fog, and volumetric lighting for added realism. All shots were rendered in passes, allowing fine control during post-production.
After Effects was used for compositing, grading, and motion effects.
Photoshop supported texture painting and background enhancement.
Audio elements were added to complete the visual narrative.
As a 3D animator, I constantly refine techniques to meet the demands of technical and defence visualisation.
These defence animations showcase my capabilities as a freelance 3D artist.
