This project implements a mesh simplification algorithm based on Quadric Error Metrics (QEM) (Garland & Heckbert, 1997). It allows high-quality approximations of polygonal models through iterative vertex pair contractions. The program is designed for efficiency, with an emphasis on maintaining surface error approximations using quadric matrices.

City Garden HDA is a Houdini Digital Asset (HDA) that allows users to create customizable garden structures, inspired by the Supertree Grove at Singapore's Gardens by the Bay. This tool is designed for artists and designers who want to generate complex, interactive garden layouts with minimal manual effort.

This project is a procedurally generated animation of a bouncing ball interacting with an impossible staircase, inspired by MC Escher’s "Ascending and Descending" and the Grand Staircase from Harry Potter. The animation is fully scripted in Python within Maya, incorporating procedural modeling, dynamic materials, and custom lighting setups.
