Karen Zheng contributed to the StudioAspen/Aspen-2025-2026 repository by developing and integrating 3D balloon visual assets using Blender and C#. She delivered a new balloons.blend asset, updating metadata to improve asset management and traceability without altering the original content. In a subsequent feature, Karen implemented UV unwrapping for balloon props, enhancing texture mapping and rendering fidelity while establishing a repeatable workflow for future asset improvements. Her work focused on 3D modeling, animation, and texturing, resulting in higher-quality visuals and more consistent asset pipelines. Over two months, she delivered two features with clear commit histories, demonstrating depth in asset integration.
