you dont need to do more than drag the drag_n_drop_install.py to maya. It will be installed automatically.

I've also included a short animation breakdown at the end, showing the progression from script to my 3D blocking to the final polished version seen in-game.
Huge thanks to Mark Llabres Hill and James Windeler for the amazing narrative ideas that brought this new version of Horizon Zero Dawn to life.

This reel features a selection of gold cinematics I crafted from script interpretation to full 3D implementation. I was responsible for cinematography, previs, camera layout, and keyframe blocking, all rendered in Maya's viewport.

These in-game cutscenes were produced on a tight budget, so we took an unconventional approach — jumping straight from script to 3D blocking, skipping the storyboard phase entirely.

All credit goes to each animator who worked on these machines for a couple of years and the animation team at Studio Gobo: Alex Marmo, Andreea Lintaru, Anne Lantz, Enric Joanmiquel, Spence Robinson and Luismi Herrera

I was responsible for collecting and implementing the cinematic concept, the camera layout, all key-frame animations missing for each intro, some rigging, physics and simulations. All are rendered in Maya's viewport.

Thank you, Darren! Had a blast working with such a cool character concept!
