3D Modeling & Animation

2024-2025
The Title of my PMB project is The Forgotten Classroom, and centers around an abandoned science classroom with a model skeleton hidden in the corner of the classroom. The purpose of this scene will be to showcase the custom models I will create for this project in cohesive and short story communicated without dialogue. My character in this animation will be the skeleton model in the corner of the classroom, and Ill use changes in body language and other non verbal tools to help drive the overall story and indirectly communicate to the viewer without using dialogue.

Model Skeleton
The Projector and the Hanging light I feel will require the most attention when making the models for this project, as if I want them to have a more realistic and complex look I will need to find special materials and put more time into the base model. I will have to rig the skeleton either using a biped or bones so I can posture and animate him. I will try to make the skeleton model more rough and worn through mapping textures on its surface and other imperfections like bumps and cracks in the model itself, which will help communicate the period of time the skeleton has spent rotting in that classroom.
The Layout of the scene will resemble a classroom, with key objects like the projector placed in the front and tables in chairs being strewn about the classroom semi-neatly. The cameras will be placed at angles and positions that make them display the windows and blackboard of the classroom, and others will be placed for when the camera zooms in on the blackboard. The use of multiple cameras will allow for me to cut between each new change in atmosphere for my scene smoothly, and the layout will help to make the scene feel lived in and familiar.
