The Trap Door

Base renders from Marmoset, no post effects added.

Render progression from wireframe through to complete post production.

With one of the most catchy opening themes from my childhood, 'The Trap Door' animated series created by Terry Brain and Charlie Mills still holds a special place in my heart.

In this Trap Door fan made project, i've attempted to recreate the feel of these episodes using modern 3D process, while still retaining the 'hand-made' charm that set them aside from other examples of their time.

Each character high poly mesh was sculpted in Z Brush. Low poly mesh, environment, custom rigs and animation were created in Blender. Assets were textured using Substance Painter. Renders and Lighting were setup and exported using Marmoset Toolbag 4. Final composition, stop motion effects and Custom 'CRT' filter was created in After Effects.
