Technical Artist Reel 2006

*** This is not my most current reel. Latest one here ***

 

My first reel after graduated from Carnegie Mellon University. I didn't really focus on special effects at the point so in this reel you can see some modeling, texturing, and rigging works.

About Me

Fangwei Lee
FX Lead


Throughout my life I have had a strong interest in computer graphic and animation. This interest has led me to seize every opportunity to learn and practice digital art. My mix of previous art practice and my degree as a Master of Entertainment Technology from Carnegie Mellon University make me an active FX lead in DreamWorks Animation.

My technical proficiency includes the mastery of Python and C/C++ scripting and expertise in visual effects setup. On the artistic side, my extensive traditional fine art training and 2D/3D animation experience give me a wide breadth of creativity and artistic skills. This knowledge of both art and technology, and my experience with working collaboratively in interdisciplinary group environments convinced me that being an artist for 3D animations is a career for me.

In addition to the more practical aspects of art, my spirit of artistic adventure has also lead me to explore many activities beyond computer art training such as sculpture, paper folding, juggling, and performing magic. Each of these activities has further stimulated creative abilities that I can use as a unique technical artist.

發糕 (exploding sponge cake)

用阿嬤帶來的發糕粉做的發糕

Grand-mom made these exploding sponge cake for us as my aunt's birthday cake. Also a perfect treat for an effects artist. One of my favorite Chinese pastries.

In Front of Taipei International Flora Expo

This is me trying to model Chinese character "fang" (first character of my first name) in front of the entrance of the Taipei International Flora Expo. My left foot was suppose to bend more to make a perfect "fang" but I've been walking/standing for 16 hours that day so this is the best I can do.

西門町一角

距上次來有五年了吧。有一種熟悉又陌生的感覺。很多老店還是生意興隆,但也有很多消失了變成新潮的餐廳。原本還覺得自己很融入街上許多年紀只有自己一半的少年少女,但是買衣服的時候先考慮上班能不能穿的念頭把我拉回現實…

饒河街

當還要用 google map 才知道要怎麼去老地盤饒河街的時候終於感覺到離開台灣太久了。

松滿樓的雪花煎餃

煎得超漂亮的,而且不會太油膩。不知道我什麼時候可以煎得這麼漂亮…

甘泉魚麵

家裡附近開的甘泉魚麵,還不錯。其實想一想好像很少吃到用魚肉做的湯麵,不知道這是那裡的傳統料理還是台灣人自己發明的?

5 Minutes Breakfast

I am getting so good at preparing breakfast. This only took me 5 minutes to prepare:
1. Scrambled Egg - 2 min
2. Baked Toast - 5 min (for baking)
3. Coffee - 1 min

It's good to have some hot breakfast in the morning.
