I originally wanted to envision three production themes for FMP. One was to continue the term 3 project and continue to produce human survivors; the second idea was to continue the project I was working on at the internship company and produce the animation part of the digital human, but then I thought of commercial copyright. related issues, so I gave up the idea; the third is to make a narrative short film based on my own memories of my friends, using an ancient Chinese background, alternating between virtual and reality, to show off my animation skills and at the same time, research knowledge about ancient Chinese architecture.
Finally, I decide I will be sharing the production plan for my latest animation project, which builds upon the foundation laid in project02 of term03. My goal is to optimize scenes and characters, adding new elements such as plants, moss, and dynamic weather while delving into further research and learning about Unreal Engine (UE) functionalities.
Concept Reference Films:
Throughout the production, I will be referring to a series of films to draw inspiration and enhance my creative skills.
Production Process:
- Scene Optimization: Adding more details to the existing scenes, incorporating elements like plants, moss, and dynamic weather to create a more realistic environment.
- Character Optimization: Experimenting with matching Marvelous Designer clothing with Metahuman and integrating them into the animation for enhanced realism.
