Bachelor of Animation Year 3
CAITLIN MITCHELL
My creative journey at Yoobee expanded my skills across industry-leading tools like Maya, ZBrush, Houdini, Marvelous Designer, and Unreal Engine, and my passion for 3D realism keeps me pushing boundaries every day. I’m a 3D artist with a deep love for crafting realistic models whether it’s a fantastical creature or a gritty urban taxicab, I strive to capture every tiny detail that brings them to life. Simulations are a particular fascination of mine. I love diving into Houdini’s node system and seeing how they come together to create motion-packed, visually captivating VFX. At Yoobee, I developed not only technical skills but also essential teamwork, multitasking under pressure, and a knack for problem-solving. I would love to bring creativity to a studio environment as a Junior 3D Modeler, Generalist, or VFX Artist, where I can contribute to building captivating visual worlds.

Taxicab
The classic 1980s taxicab, a true icon of New York’s streets. This 3D hard surface model was crafted in Maya and textured in Substance Painter, capturing every nostalgic detail. Built for a 3D game, it transports passengers through the festive streets of Times Square at Christmas, bringing a touch of NYC holiday magic to life.
Your Dearest Sister
A cult secluded in the highland of Scotland in the 1800’s, Elizabeth is in search of her sister. in this 3D game she must integrate the villagers and find clues to find her sister. Above shows all the models I made for our Drama, thriller, occult game. The sacrificial sheep’s head, clothing, characters, etc.
Creature of the Abyss
A mythic beast from the ocean’s depths, rising to roar before vanishing into darkness once more. Modelled in ZBrush, rigged and animated in Maya, and textured in Substance Painter, this creature collides with a fluid simulation made in Houdini that blends seamlessly with the ocean surface, creating the illusion of it rising from the depths.
