In 2021, I embarked on an exciting project: creating a captivating 3D product animation for "Snapboard" – an innovative online teaching tool developed by Classhub.live. The purpose of this product was to enhance traditional education during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing teachers with improved accessibility to conduct lessons using books and notebooks.
Modelling and Texturing
Every element within the project was meticulously crafted using hard surface modeling techniques in Blender. The product's precise dimensions were supplied by the client as points of reference.
For shading, the product utilizes Physically Based Rendering (PBR) textures. All textures were meticulously generated from images, and subsequently, the roughness and normal maps were expertly created using Adobe Photoshop.
Lighting and Animation
The scene is illuminated using a two-point lighting setup, comprising a gentle key light on the left and a contrasting fill light on the right.
In order to facilitate animation, the packaging envelope was rigged. The animation storyboard was meticulously designed based on the client's specific instructions, aiming to comprehensively highlight each feature of the product while ensuring clarity in portraying the associated actions.
Rendering and Compositing
The project undergoes rendering through the CyclesX render engine in a batch rendering process, producing output in EXR format. The final output is then composed and enhanced using Da Vinci Resolve for a polished result.
