For this, I took a concrete example made entirely by me,

except the actual imagesmade by the company Havane Films.

Making of GAROBOUC film television commercial - client GOLIATH

The cutting of the film (or story board) makes it possible to agree with the client on the progress of the animation, the framing, the lights and the duration of the film

The game GAROBOUC has girls and boys with different outfits, it is important that the client validates the characters (shape, color, outfit) drawn at the line at first.

The game GAROBOUC also has a goat and a mountain, line drawn at first.

Once all elements of the line drawn game are validated, we can move on to the second phase which is the 3D modeling of all the elements.

Now we can start modeling all the elements.For this project I used Newtek’s LightWave software (I also use other professional software for 3D). Let’s start with the boy and the girl ...

Why use 3D animation for your presentations?

1

2

It is a big step forward towards its future realization.Here are two examples, which I experienced personally, which show the strength of conviction of a 3D animation.

To convince investors that your project is already alive!

Project of a boat with solar panels “Planet Solar” to circumnavigate the world without fossil energy. Without money at the beginning the instigator of this project had the good idea to think about 3D animation to mount his project in a more realistic way. Well done, thanks also to his perseverance, German investors have advanced the money for the construction of the boat. His dream has come true.

Project of an airplane flying in the stratosphere “SolarStratos”. In the same way, it was necessary to convince investors of the possibility of carrying out this innovative project.

Question

Answer

I proudly pose in front of the boat “Planet Solar” upon his arrival in Monaco after his world tour.

The plane “SolarStratos” during its first tests.

I realized the 3D modeling and the exterior graphic decoration of the boat “Planet Solar”. And a 3D animation evoking its journey around the world.

I realized the 3D modeling and the first external graphic decoration of the plane “SolarStratos”.As well as a 3D animation (360 °).
