Role
Animator, Foley Artist,
3D Modeller
A college project where I made a short animation sequence based on The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám.
I made, rigged and skinned the model in 3DS Max, then keyframed several short animations, before adding it to a setting made in Unreal Engine 5. Additionally, I created all the audio myself.
Rubáiyát Animation
development
I outlined all the animations I intended to keyframe by making hand-drawn cycles. I achieved this by recording a friend of mine acting out the range of motions I wished to animate and tracing over individual frames, which I made into GIFs.
level design
As the sequence is inspired by The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, a Persian styled environment was appropriate. I wanted it to resemble a Caravanserai, a place where travellers or pilgrims would rest.
