2026 Demo Reel
TI RSLK MAX Robotics Technical Visualization Cinema 4D • After Effects • 3D Animation
For the SDV page description/metadata, I’d use: Texas Instruments SDV automotive visualization by Senior 3D Artist Sharon Palkowetz, featuring Cinema 4D, Redshift, Xpresso, After Effects, 3D animation, and technical motion design.
Rigging the Robot: IK Rigging • Character Animation • Unreal Engine
The projector model was part of a DLP technology video. I modeled it, in 10 hours, but it was decided later to cut from the video. My 3D animation, :36-:46, is a dynamic simulation of how light is manipulated inside the DLP semiconductor chip. Created with Cinema4D and Redshift. Click to watch the video.
Texas Instruments ADAS Systems. I wrote the story, storyboarded, designed and animated, rigged cabling for very quick revisions in this full animation. City assets from Kitbash3D. Created with Cinema4D and Octane render. Click to watch the video.
EV Chassis Environment Visualization I built and developed the industrial garage environment, then staged, lit, and rendered the EV chassis to create a flexible setting for advertising imagery and animation.
Texas Instruments Video Harvesting - click to watch the video. I wrote, directed, edited in Final Cut. I used Mocha Pro for motion tracking, and After Effects for compositing. This video was showcased at CES and at international conventions. Click to watch the video.
This was a short animation challenge to rig, manually animate, add dynamics, and build the background set (combination of Kitbash and C4D assets). I created this project in Cinema4D and Redshift in under 48 hours. Click to watch the video.
I modeled and designed 3 models and designed the Xray materials with circuit boards. I composited the 3D models into live action footage, using MochaPro. My animations are at :20-:24, :27-:32m and :37-:54. Click to watch the video.

One of my favorite still frame renders for a print ad, for T. Hero car in a city street environment, with assets from Kitbash3D. Designed and rendered in less than 6 hours with Cinema4D and Redshift.
Digital illustration of a car with a wireframe overlay in a tunnel, showcasing automotive technological features with labels for voltage, driving range, and temperature.
A presentation slide titled 'The Evolution of TDA' showing a timeline from 2007 to future, with car images and features like ultrasonic sensors, rear and front cameras, radar, surround view, driver monitoring system, and sensor fusion.

I modeled and designed Xray materials for 3 assets with circuit boards, that are tracked with MochaPro, and rotoscoped into footage. My animations are at :20-:24, :27-:32m and :37-:54
"Make it look like real tech, but not like any existing tech! " These next 5 images are a robot factory controller cabinet, that I modeled and textured using Cinema4D, Redshift, and Photoshop. This was a very fun and engaging project.
Electrical control panel with various modules, including communication, CPU, and safety modules, and yellow warning labels on some components.
Electronic control panel with blue grid background labeled 'Communication module' with numbered rows and columns, a yellow safety module with terminal blocks, a white I/O module with green screw terminals, a gray CPU module with indicator lights, and various cables connected to the modules.
Industrial control panel with various electronic components, wires, and modules inside a metal enclosure.
A grey electrical control panel with various components inside, including circuit modules, terminal blocks, and warning labels, mounted inside a black enclosure with a transparent front door.
These two images are a circuit board I modeled, rendered and animated particles hitting the invisible bubble with Xparticles in Cinema4D and Redshift.
