Overview
I collaborated closely with Shield AI engineering and design teams to visualize and animate the company’s next-generation aircraft platform, X-BAT, a revolutionary vertical jet VTOL system designed for modern autonomous operations. The project focused on creating high-quality visualizations that clearly demonstrated the aircraft’s innovative design and deployment mechanics. I translated complex aircraft geometry into production-ready 3D assets and developed animation sequences illustrating the platform’s operational capabilities. A key part of the work involved designing and animating the trailer deployment system as well as the aircraft’s folding wing mechanisms. These sequences were used to demonstrate how the aircraft transitions from transport configuration to operational flight mode.
