Industry:  E-Learning Industry

Medium of distribution: Used YouTube, Email, Website, and Social Chat for promotion.

Project Description:

Our client’s goal was to complete a 3D character modeling project specifically designed for online purchasers of children’s books. In order to establish the right atmosphere for animated videos, a central element was the creation of a human figure crucial for engaging the target audience, particularly children. The development of each character was meticulously scrutinized for attributes such as strength, focus, and real-time activities. Following numerous discussions, consensus was reached on a 2D sketch, marking the commencement of the 3D character modeling process for a young girl character.

Project Plan: 

The 3D Human model needs rigorous 3D character modeling to account for the target audience and necessity of a genuine portrayal. To achieve customer approval for the character’s visual and physical qualities, numerous 2D images were used. The continuous method, which included trial and error, dramatically improved overall project quality. The 3D human model’s applicability across websites, animated commercials, social media posts, and numerous platforms was carefully planned. The project was completed within the specified 30-day timeframe.

Our 3D modeling process:

Conceptualization:

The first step involves imagining and conceptualizing the human character’s qualities, actions, and essence to match the brand’s goals and target audience’s preferences.

2D sketching:

The creative process continues with basic 2D sketches. This process incorporates customer and project team feedback to create the human character’s visual foundation.

3D Modelling:

After 2D sketch approval, 3D modelling begins. The character’s proportions, characteristics, and unique qualities are carefully considered as skilled artists create a three-dimensional model from the 2D representation.

Blend Shapes and Sculpting:

Characters get more details and organic features. Shaping and sculpting add realism and capture the desired expressions and emotions.

Texturing:

Next, we added  colours, designs, and textures to the 3D object by adding 2D images. This gives the character depth and visual appeal. Textural illusions and lifelike details are created by projection.

Rigging: Characters need controlled skeletons before animation. Rigging provides realistic character posture and gesture manipulation.

Rendering & Compositing: Final processes include producing high-quality photos and compositing elements. This guarantees that the character blends into the desired backgrounds and environments, giving a unified and impressive result.

Measure of success:

The success can be measured by increased audience engagement, positive customer feedback on the 3D model’s visual appeal, increased online visibility and conversion rates, positive brand perception shifts, conformity to the 30-day project timeline, and smooth application of the model across websites, animated commercials, social media, and various platforms. Increased interaction with 3D Human model-based e-learning resources will also reflect industry alignment.
