An introductory video for a stylised third-person RPG.
Software: Autodesk Maya, Unreal Engine 4
Challenges
My first individual 3D animation short film. Tried to experiment with the cel-shading technique in Unreal Engine 4. I have encountered many difficulties at the production stage, such as rigging a flying creature, and creating the entire environment, quite a lot of research and trail and error were done at this stage.
Solutions
Besides modelling and environment creation, most of my time were invested in testing the cel-shading materials. Although I was tring to maintain a same style throughout the entire video, there were still a slightly difference in the style and contour line due to different lighting and post-process material settings.The animation for the flying creature(manta bird) was also not very ideal, so I have to reduce the time it appears. Project and time management were my greatest take-away from this work.
