Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Has A New Guest!

The joy, the laughter, the romance, the love, the cherished moments are not to be staged, but captured. – Onyx Tell the story of your wedding with honesty and beauty, without interfering in the natural flow of the day.

Collagen is a structural protein in connective tissue. It is composed of three protein strands that wind together into a distinctive triple helix. This structure shows a small segment of a peptide with the ideal sequence for forming the triple helix. Go to VueSimulator page to see more medical animations.

Capability or Simplicity? It’s a question. Only the one who thinks deeper, further, outside of the box, can bring the balance to the design. The rest of it is just engineering audience’s attention according to the client’s need.

3D Stereoscopic can bring you the warmth of smile, the heat of the sunshine. It can even freeze time like you’ve never seen before. People who think it’s ridiculous just haven’t seen the right 3D. I was fascinated by Stereoscope since 6th grade. One day, before my parents came home, I popped up our color

The Art of Seeing. Seeing the image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly. As a 3D artist, I don’t see just one angle, I see the whole 360 degrees. As a photographer, I don’t see just one exposure, I see the whole

Motion graphic can be in very various styles, but these following videos happened to have similar styles.  Nice & clean background, short period of production. At the end of the day, what can be better than clients’ satisfaction!

Participated in multiple projects to create renders with other team members, including: Longtanhu Office Building (above) China Unicom Liaoning Headquater Campus Competition (above) China Metallurgical Construction Engineering Group Headquater Building Competition (below)

An animation from 1 frame. This personal project is to test a crazy idea about isolating light sources into separate passes, so the lights can be animated without re-rendering. The result showed that not only you can turn on and off each light, you can even change individual colors and powers. The direct & indirect light

As the co-founder of a game development company and the lead artist, I designed these concepts for some games 10 years ago. They probably look shabby now, compared with AAA games these days. But in 2002-2003, most of the games were still on CD-ROM, they looked like this: Nascar Racing 2003 Season, Sierra Entertainment PC-CDROM

If it can be imagined, we can visualize it. Precision modeling, photorealistic lighting & texturing, cinematic animation.

Vue Simulator is an interactive Patient Education web application. It demonstrates complicated eye-related conditions & treatments in a scientific manner. In order to explain the procedures without disturbing patients, vast doctor-proven 3D animations were created to replace real surgery footages. I was the product designer & lead animator of this product.  [DEMO]

Although the Battlestar Galactica Chapter 1 [link] was made in After Effects, my super old computer made it almost impossible to render any animation. When the Art Institute of Washington [link] invited me to give a lecture for their 3D students, I made this clip to demonstrate how to transform a normal looking render into a dreamy

Battlestar Galactica has been my favorite Sci-Fi show from the moment I found it. I was so amazed by the examination of the nature of humanity in extreme conditions, and the lightest hope in the darkest time. On top of that, the movie-like special effect on TV show also opened my eyes. So I decided
