Weathertower 3D Renders

An interesting point in our animation is that the backgrounds are in 3D, while the characters will be animated in 2D. Because the idea of having a 3D background was only introduced in the later part of our project, we were running out of time to make all the assets by ourselves. Our lecturer suggested that we seek help from others for the modelling process. We managed to enlist the help of our talented juniors from the diploma course helped us modelled the whole weather tower and the control station. The result was beautiful with many amazing details. Our heartfelt thanks to Abineya, Andrian, Amelia, Brandon, Sarah, Halis and Ynno for your help!

With this, we could achieve awesome dynamic camera movements with our 2D characters in a 3D space.

Here are some more shots of the work shed at the top of the weather tower as tests for lighting.

Look out for our next update where we have rough animations of our old grouchy hero!
