Project Overview
Designed detailed 3D characters for short film production, balancing appealing stylized aesthetics with realistic proportions to support expressive, narrative-driven animation.
Challenges
- Translating the specific stylized aesthetic from 2D concepts into appealing 3D character forms.
- Balancing sufficient surface/texture detail for close-ups while preserving the stylized design's clarity.
- Creating shaders and materials that accurately capture the intended non-photorealistic, stylized look.
Solutions
- Developed detailed model sheets and style guides, closely iterating on the 3D sculpts from concepts.
- Applied detail strategically to focal points, keeping larger forms clean according to the style guide.
- Developed custom shaders or significantly adapted existing ones to match the target art style's render.
