Self Portrait - Cinematic Blender Animation Approximated 2023-09-16 | "Self-Portrait" is an 100% CGI animated short made by me using tools such as Blender, Marvelous Designer, Iclone 8, Axis Studio, Davinci Resolve and more. The concept might have been a little too ambitious as its quite long and took me around 8 months to complete but I managed to get it done just in time for my 18th birthday.
