Levent Ulas Character Animator & Animation Tool Creator
Character in every frame.
I animate characters for cinematics and build practical Maya tools for the work behind it.
From the reel.
Game cinematics and feature film. Each project opens the reel at its section.
Built from the work.
AnimTools started as fixes for problems I kept running into while animating: arcs that are hard to edit through curves, reference in another window, breathing nobody has time to key.
Shown: the Advanced Bézier Arc Editor reshaping a figure-eight arc in Maya, from the tool’s demo recording.

Most of my work is cinematic: keyframe character animation and motion-capture refinement, pushed until the motion reads as a performance rather than data.
