Evliya Çelebi

3D MODELING

This will showcase some 3D Modeling I did for Turkish 3D full animation feature film, inspired by the great Ottoman explorer, Evliya Celebi.

Crafting his interesting adventure into a fiction yet imaginative story. Traveling through time, fighting evil queen, and making friends were all in the quest of finding the Fountain of Youth.

Got all the excitement and nervous feeling when I first heard about the feature film project. Other than its long duration compared to TV commercial, but also the amount of 3D assets that needs to be made for the entire project. Teamwork also played a really important part and obviously challenging, because I got to learn how to create a tidy and neat work file that will not confuse the other people in next stage. I was learning more about speed modeling, details, good topology and scene lighting in this project the most. It was thrilling and fascinating.

Roles.

I was responsible for the creative direction of 3D assets, including characters, environment and objects props. To translate the sketched concept art to a fully rendered 3D assets.

Tools.

3Ds Max, Adobe After Effect, Vray Renderer, Adobe Photoshop and Pencil Paper

3D Environment.

Below are some 3D scenes environment that I was responsible with. It was exciting and challenging at the same time, because I got to visualize creatively while translating the concept art to the 3D environment models and put the details that wasn't shown in concept art sketch.

Sometimes the concept arts were not provided, hence I have to imagine and create them myself straight away in 3D modeling software. At the same time, I also got to explore more about Turkey, the capital city and also its culture. To create a 3D scene with view while not making the files become so heavy to lessen the burden of rendering time at final.

3D Characters.

Some of the 3D characters that I've showcased in this page are including the early stage of character development, alternate concept art and some feature background characters. I've had fun with this project, since I got to experiment and explore creating lots of different characters, from little kid, man, woman, elders while learning a lot about Turkish culture and attires.

3D Props.

Below are some of the props model and design that I made throughout the early stages of the animation film, other than the ones that included in the environment 3D models. Those were including hard surface modeling and organic ones.
