This is an assignment done for Animation Mentor by my colleague Anindya Moqsud. Later I made the scene render worthy and here’s the result. I used Redshift for rendering (my current favorite renderer). Rendered using a render farm. So, for my part, I organized the scene, lit it, set up the render passes and layers, and later composited it in After Effects. I did my first little sound mixing on this. Enjoyed it but it’s a whole other world. It was good collaborative work.
The Stella rig was provided by Animation Mentor.
