Environment Assets for Production Practise


Working with the animators, we made a small video that showed the furniture in a girls room warp and take a different shape. I made these models for the girls room.



I used Blend Shapes in Maya which allowed you to warp the original asset in to the deformed asset gradually by moving a slider.

Because we weren't working on a game, I felt like I could go crazy with the poly-count, which was a mistake. The assets could have looked identical with a lower poly-count but I just didn't pay much attention to it as I thought it mattered less for animations. Whereas the poly-count can of course be much higher in animations, each polygon has to be rendered so the higher the count the longer the rendering time... which can affect deadlines and also cost more money.

So always keep an eye on the poly-count and know your limits.
