The Mag Wrap 2025

3D Motion & Show Graphics

Fun · August 2025

For The Mag Wrap 2025, I explored how a set of 3D shapes and materials could carry a rap show’s graphics.

The package includes an intro, looping backgrounds, show IDs and reusable on-screen graphics.

Brief / Why I did it

I wanted to develop a visual approach that could work across a whole show: from an opening sequence to smaller graphics for names, judges and standings.

Process / Tools & thinking process

I used Blender and Houdini for 3D, Nuke and After Effects for compositing and motion, and DaVinci Resolve for the edit.

I reused shapes, materials and movements across the package, adapting the compositions and timing to each format.

My role / What I made

I developed the art direction, 3D animation and motion graphics. That included the intro, show IDs, loops and templates for recurring on-screen information.

Result / What I learned

The finished package uses the same visual elements at different scales. Building the pieces together helped me see which ideas worked as a full-screen sequence and which stayed clear in a small graphic.
