QQ和PUPU的第二集动画《Begin the Adventure》已发布,这一集讲的是Space QQ 和PUPU去太空寻找最美声音之前的故事。
一般来讲,3D动画制作流程可以分为规划和制作两部分。在规划部分,流程可以分为两个阶段:剧情梗概与故事板分镜。制作则分五个阶段:可视化预览-建模-校正-渲染-合成-配音。本文将详解QQ和PUPU第二集动画的制作过程。
Generally, 3D animation work process can be divided into planning and production parts. In the planning part, the process can be classified into two stages: synopsis and storyboard. For the production part, it is divided into five stages: pre-visual, modeling, rigging (set up), animation, lighting & rendering, compositing & sound in order. In this article, I will introduce the whole production process of short animation in detail.
STEP 1
Pre-production 前期制作
分镜在前期制作中很重要,因为它决定了动画最核心的部分:故事的主题和情感。由于是计划做成15到24秒的视频,分镜的设定只使用了制作阶段的两到三个场景。如果制作成15秒的动画,观众将很难正确地理解视频,或者当视频多于3个场景时,也很难准确地传达角色信息,考虑到这些问题,我们尽可能地固定摄像机的运动,以使观众能将更多的注意力放在角色上。
Storyboards are very important in the pre-production process because it determine the theme and the mood of the story which is the most core part of the animation. Since this video was planned as 15 to 24 seconds animation, the storyboard was set up to use only two or three scenes from the production stage. In the case of a short animation produced within 15 seconds, the viewer could have less understanding about the video or the video may be difficult to convey the message of the characters when there are more than 3 scenes. With these issues in mind, we tried to fix the camera movements as much as possible so that viewers can concentrate more on the character's movements.
In this video, we proceeded in a way which is more efficient and faster than the conventional work process. The compressive work process which we used in this video is to develop the video rapidly and repetitively circulating one production cycle from the start to the end: modeling, camera editing, animating, lighting, shading, texturing, rendering and compositing based on the prepared character setup and pre-visual work.
- Costume: Dr. PUPU's clothes and laboratory goggles were designed to make viewers recognize how Dr.PUPU differ from the general PUPUs. The white experiment costume and goggles are well matched with Dr.PUPU who studies the advanced technology.
-环境物:视频需要有用于空间中的各种模型,比如PUPU博士实验室的实验设备和飞船内的机器。这些模型要设计得与整体氛围很好地相融合,以便匹配PUPU小小的身高比例和Q萌而又具有高科技感的形象。
- Environment object: In this video, various modelings were need to to be used in spaces such as experimental devices of Dr.PUPU's laboratory or machines inside the spacecraft. The modeling was designed to go well with the overall atmosphere so that the machines match the scale of PUPU’s low height and have cute and high-tech style.
Since basic environment in the video was a large laboratory for PUPU's spacecraft, it was planned to be a white tone just like a laboratory. However, since it was difficult to give a large spatial impression in a small camera view in the white tone laboratories, I’ve added an extra lighting effect outside the entrance of the spacecraft to give a sense of space. This lighting effect worked like a spotlight on the stage, allowing the people to naturally focus on the giant spacecraft.
The compositing progress was done to complement the imperfect parts in the initial lighting and rendering work and to correct the overall tone by setting several RGB passes and lighting effect together during the rendering process. Each RGB passes was divided from 15 to 24 in the rendering stage to composite in each scene.
In this QQ & PUPU Animation Episode2 "Begin the Adventure" video, we tried to convey the character, behavior and overall concept of each character of SpaceQ and PUPU more directly to people. I hope that the characters will be more familiar and closer to the public and be recognized as fun and fun characters while watching the video. I hope that QQ and PUPU short animations to be made in the future will grow into characters that are loved by more people.
