PROJECT BACKGROUND

Seven students of Creative Media (Animation and Visual Effects) under the Department of Digital Media (DDM) had produced a 3D animation as a promotional trailer for Mega Mecha, originally co-designed by an American comic artist Mr Pat LEE and a Japanese artist Mr Hidetaka TENJIN. The students underwent the complete process of story development, digital modelling, texture painting, cartoon lighting and post-production compositing. Looking forward, this project will be further developed into an interactive design using the HoloLens, augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) and 3D printing of the robots and one of the fighting scenes.
