We were given the opportunity to create VFX animation for an experimental short film that was created for Walmart.
I started the designs digitally in Photoshop and transitioned into Modo to mock them up in 3D. I wanted to lock down the volumes and silhouettes before getting them modeled.
Once modeled I used Maya to rig up and animate the origami monsters. This process was particularly enjoyable considering the characters ran the entire spectrum of locomotion; avian, quadruped, insectoid and bipedal.
