Hi mr frog!
This as a teaser/test for a short film that I’ve had in my head for a few years now, and will probably take as many years more before it’s fully out of my head, ie rendered and done
I’ve gotten a bit more spare time that I would have want to because of the Hollywood strike that even affects the CG industry on the other side of the world, which is why I now managed to get this together from all the assets that I slowly built the last year or two.
So almost all the small plants, mosses, lichen etc is geo nodes with either textures from photos I’ve taken or just pure shader nodes. Then there’s lots of 3D scanned stuff, like branches, sticks, trees, pine cones and mushrooms that I’ve got from the forests near me.
Though the fern and the leaf tree/bush on the sides is from grasswald if I recall correctly.
I also did a sortof gobo-generator in geo nodes, it’s the white leafshaped things on the right in screenshot above. Might release it on gumroad later on if people are interested
And then we have mr frog himself, I have modeled and sculpted a very few characters before, but I’ve never rigged or let alone animated one before so I’m quite happy with what I’ve achieved here with this little guy!
Any frog that gives me the peace sign is a frog friend of mine. This is very good. Everything looks good relative to the standards of the day for such film work.
Who knows what’s in your future. But I think frogs are gonna get you there.
I’m very impressed, by the quality of your teaser. Some 5 years ago, I began a 45 minutes 3D animated film. So, I know how much work you had to do up to now. Stay motivated and keep on with your cute idea
I love it! It’s really excellent. I hope you can get to complete this one day. I’m at the beginning of attempting a full animated film: so, so hard, but also fun. Keep going!
