- I collaborated with a CG supervisor to develop a GUI tool based on PySide2. This tool allows shot artists to check if all Alembic models have been properly exported by exporting specified shots with Qt animation. It streamlines the workflow and improves production pipeline efficiency. The tool features an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
