This is a collection of some of my best realistic and low poly 3D animations. Some other animations can be found in my showreel video.
Low Poly Animation x INSTADRIVE
These are some low poly animations I did for INSTADRIVE. In these videos I did all aspects (modeling, shading, lighting, animation, etc.)
CHECKM8
It all started with the idea to make a chess set. Then I figured a still would be too boring, so I animated a chess game which – according to ichess.net is the most famous chess games of the 20th century (Donald Byrne vs. Robert James Fisher, New York 1958). Then again I reckoned a chess game without anything else in the background would be too boring as well a chess game in real-time would be exhaustingly boring and too expensive to render. Therefore I decided to make a timelapse of the chess game in a kitchen following the day-to-day life of an invisible person. Of course, it all takes a sudden change when the white king is put into checkmate.
DOMINO
This is one of my few projects done in Cinema4D. Its main focus is on rigid body simulation and lighting. The dots on the domino pieces were put on with a normal map which – for rather perpenticular angles – looks quite convincing.
PERDITION
For the animation classes at die graphische, once we had to do and animation where we would combine digital 2D animation with analogue drawings or stop motion elements. So while everything is animated in After Effects (even the falling of the rain drops, even though the drops themselves are hand drawn), so elements are—as mentioned above—hand drawn and then scanned. This makes for very unique look, emphasised by the exaggerated comic style.
My First Unboxing Video
This short video was a school project with the intention of practicing simple rigging and animation. I realised it in Cinema 4D an rendered it in Arnold with a toon shader applied.
