‘Catwalk – Black Cat Crossing’ is a humorous animated short film that takes the viewer into a

no name party 6 months ago

We drew alot of linearts with some fineliner. Scanned it and preojected in 3D onto a Mesh (Maya). After weeks of pain and horrible rendertimes (we hadn't that much experience) we did it :) Everything was drawn by hand. All 3D Stuff is done in Maya and the comp was done in Combustion. :)

This is really good. I like it a lot. The line drawn style is really nice and the little details throughout make this piece a pleasure to watch. Great work.

Thanks for the comment :) It was a good practice lesson to draw all this stuff. Everything is rough and hadn't been cleaned up alot.

Hi, we needed ca. 7 months for production without any 3D, Animation and project management experience.

I'm glad you like it and we've inspired you :)

The film was created in the second semester at university :) The only thing we'd done in 3d was a photorealistic turntable of some beauty product.. :)

:O you did it all in one semester? your very talented. It took me a year to get comfortable with maya and the results are just average. Looking forward to seeing more projects from you :)

Great animation, I'm glad you've already answered the questions on workflow, sadly I have one more... Did you animate the character also in maya with IK or was that post work aswell?

Greetings from the UK my friend
no name party 1 month ago

Every Animation was done in Maya. We animated it via Planes. For instance the body is on one plane and the arms as well. After the planar mapping of the texture on the surface we rotated the planes in wanted positions :)

We wasn#t very experienced in post so we did it that way.
Lawrence 1 month ago

Thanks so much for the response I've watched this tonnes now... Great effect you've achieved, I'm impressed by the foreground elements, the composition and really like the chopper aswell! I must try this in cinema 4d now and see what can be done... Many thanks for the inspiration. Keep animating my friend.

This was very funny and clever! At the very end when the cat jumped out, I didn't quite understand until after it was completely over. Me and my brother enjoyed this a lot! By the way, the style was absolutely wonderful as well!

Thank you. 99% of the stuff was self explored and I would say 90% had been created without support from university.

hehe, thank you :).

I assume you are the first one to notice this.

It was really challenging to design this set. After all it had to be visuall appealing during a long pan.
