| CONCEPT | SOUND DESIGN | MODELING | TEXTURING | ANIMATION | LIGHTING | RENDERING |
This was an incredibly tight turnaround project. I consider this still a WIP because of a few render glitches that occur throughout that made it through into the final piece. This was a great project to test the ORC render platform as the entire project from concept approval to final was completed in a week. I aim to fix these glitches in the next few weeks as well as add a few elements.
I played with the idea of stylizing the math and shapes found in shell structures and mineral growth. Keeping in mind that TED has three main colors, I wanted to keep that number close to the piece with three main events that happen throughout the animation. 1 - First is the BIRTH of an individual or idea which travels through space and time and eventually comes in 2 - CONTACT with other like-minded people and finally 3 - SPREADS which ripples through the world and influences everyone. This concept, I feel, is very close to the core principles of TED.
