3D Character Collection

Jonas is a 3D character I created for a short film that I worked on with two fellow students within a span of 2.5 months. The film lasted 45 seconds and depicted air pollution in an abstract manner.

I was responsible for the entire CG-Character Creation, for the shading of the helmet, as well as rigging, animation, and simulation (nCloth) of the character. The goal was to create a semi-realistic character that incorporates both realistic and stylized elements. I had the great honor of introducing the shortfilm and Jonas at the FMX School Presentations, which was a great experience.

I also lit and rendered the scenes, after which I composited them in Nuke. 

Sisu is a 3D character that I created for my bachelor's degree film. Unfortunately, the film is not yet complete, so I can't show much at the moment. The goal with Sisu was to create an appealing, stylized character that could be easily rigged and animated in the further development process. For this character, I was responsible for everything except the concept art. In the 3D implementation, I deliberately chose slightly more realistic proportions since Sisu becomes two-dimensional during the course of the film. The subtle modifications are meant to make it clear to the viewer at all times which dimension is being depicted.

In addition to Sisu, I also created the environment. It is a magical kitchen where Sisu lives, brews potions, and where the story will begin. Creating the environment was a significant challenge for me since I had only worked on characters before, making the environment creation completely new to me.

The firefly is a character that I created for a fellow student. This character was rigged and animated for a short film in the further course of work. I was responsible for the entire character creation process for this character. The goal was to design a very simple and very cartoony character. Unfortunately, this film is not yet finished either, which is why I can currently only show the character in a-pose.
