Trailer, artwork and the Smoke Break! name belong to the Smoke Break! team and USC Games, shown here as part of my portfolio.

Smoke Break! is a 3D stealth puzzle game where you play as Applewood, a living puff of smoke, who's hungry for a sweet, charred treat.

In this lighthearted adventure, mischief seekers will explore Applewood Factories — a whimsical pie-producing workshop. Cause hilarious hijinks as you delve deeper into this fantastical factory for a deliciously burnt pie!

Credited role: 3D Rigger

  • Created 3D rigs for the interactive machines throughout the game in Maya, and imported them into Unity.
  • Worked from concept art and guidance from the animators to deliver custom rigs that enabled a more stylized animation workflow, using squash-and-stretch deformations.
