This is the concept of the bear. Our group was going for a spider verse look, and I am fond of cute things, so I choose to do a bear
The first animation idea. I was going for a rigid suitcase at first, but...
Then I prefer to spice up the suitcase. The suitcase have been rigid in most of the other people's works, so maybe I will give it a bit more personality
The rigging for the bear is such a big learning curve. The strap rig is fully FK so the animation for them is absolutely miserable. The bear need more geo, but I didn't know that at the time
3rd version of animation
The near final version, maybe 7th or 8th?
I render them out and do post processing in Premiere. Deadline was tight so I didn't write a shader to match the spider verse look, I just try to mimic them using post process
The final product :)
