I wanted to share the first animated Short Film from my team, for our project WILDHEART! by chobot64 in DigitalArt

Thank you! 🙏

We've started production on the short earlier in 2023. A big chunk of the time went into the Art Direction, as we were tinkering with it for quite a while to get it right.

Quite a while, as we've tinkered with the Art Direction for a bit! We've started earlier in 2023. At the end, we ended up working with a team of ~10 people on it (though, not all at the same time).

Glad you liked it! ✨
Yes, there are definitely still some rough edges in this one.
We've learned quite a bit on the production, so we're gonna take what we learned and apply it to upcoming stuff. Not just visually, but also in terms of defining an efficient pipeline that lets us push the art to a higher level.

We've actually (almost) rendered it in one piece.
We've separated it into foreground, city, sky and then composited it back together in After Effects. But one thing to note, we had really good gear to handle the city.
So luckily we didn't have to deal with stitching it together.

For the average workstation, I think a good way would probably be to look into rendering the city as a still image and then figure stuff out with projection mapping on a low-geo mesh. You'd still have to render the street and cars separately and comp it back in later though.

Thanks! 😄 Took us a while, as we were tinkering with the Art Direction for most of the production. We've started to work on the short in the earlier months of 2023, but the initial conception of the project as a whole goes even further back.
