This is a personal project which our Creative Director did to share his big love with his 6-month son. The concept was personally done by Leo, Founder of Red Cat Motion.
Drawing is such an amazing thing to visualize your ideas
He drew on his favorite "device", paper and decided on the final models after many rounds of revision.
When Leo was happy with his sketch, he sent it to our Art Director Kim Phung and had her colouring his sketch. He wanted to have a blue Cat (as blue represents the colour of Ocean). To back up, he did another version with yellow.
The fun begins
All the drawings were sent to Planion. Based on the sketches, they explored Leo's idea by sculpting the cat digitally.
Adding Colours and textures
After a few rounds of revision, colours and textures were added to the character. After this round, we decided to go with the backup plan, the yellow one.
More fun with fur
We added fur on the character. The render took longer but it was worthy.
Rigging and bring the character alive
The rig looks complicated to control all the body parts.
More Clothes
As a personal project, we wanted to have fun and explored more possibilities. This project will keep going on and we will share more when we have a chance.
