LET'S DIVE INTO THE PROCESS!
How to tell the story of a rock?🪨
For this project, I really wanted to challenge myself and get better at 3D animation, give myself an opportunity to explore textures, lightings and storytelling.So I decided to create my first ever 3D character animation with beautiful nature backgrounds!
(when I have never done organic modelling and character rigging...?)
PROCESS
Lots and lots of modeling...
As i mentioned, since I don't have the experience on character animation and organic modelling, it would be almost impossible to create a well rendered, full character animation within 1 month. So instead of a character require rigging, I decided to use a rock as my main character and spend the rest of the project time to finesse my organic modeling skills.
ENVIRONMENTS
EVERYTHING MODELED BY ME!
Time management was key for modeling all the environments in time
(every single assets!) But it was so much fun sculpting and observing
the nature for reference. The process also helped me a lot with experimenting textures and lightings.
