Yesterday I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science at the Universiteit Utrecht, on the subject of the simulation of dense crowds. Of course my thesis Dense Crowds of Virtual Humans is available online!

For my Master of Science course in Game & Media Technology at the Utrecht University I had to make another 3D animation. This time the focus was on more traditional animation techniques such as stretch-and-squash.
For the Utrecht University I made a short animation called Pong. together with two fellow students. We used Blender to add models to the MoCap data we recorded, and rendered with Blender + Multiblend.
