Hi, y’all! This is Hanwen Xu coming from China. I am a Junior in IMGA with a CS minor. Making art is both one of my biggest interests and what I plan to do for a living in the future. I have been doing traditional fine arts as a hobby since primary school. I enjoy drawing, painting, and making arts in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started picking up digital art in high school, mostly graphic-design-related stuff. After entering WPI is when I really began diving into digital art. Although my focus in IMGA is technical art, I have done digital art in various mediums including 3D modeling, 3D animation, interactive electronic art, and 2D animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started learning programming after I came to WPI. I would say I am more at the art side of the spectrum, but I do have some knowledge of programming. I enjoy programming a lot and I am more than ready to learn more about it. And I have some experience in making art with electronics such as Makey Makey or Arduino Uno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My creative inspirations come from a lot of places, mainly music, and games. I am a big fan of Japanese punk music and Shibuya-Kei. If you recognize these two album covers we can be really good friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently did an ISP in Houdini VFX. I created an explosion effect with Houdini in Unreal Engine, and I am pretty happy with the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
