THE YAKUZA (2022)

This little animation was made during my time as a learner of 3D Modeling & Animation during TAP Animation Intensive Training Program.

I decided to take a unique approach and combine both 3D CGI Modeling, and 2D Character Animation, to create a unique animation for TAP Animation’s Sequential Animation of 2022.

The Character Design and Animation for the titular character was all done in Clip Studio Paint.

I also learned to make anime-style backgrounds from a real life photo using the software’s tools and techniques.

The Idea

During my time as a student for TAP Animation’s Intensive Training Program, we were given the opportunity to use Autodesk Maya for 3D Animating and Background Design.

I wished to be unique, so I applied 3D Modeling, and 2D Character Animation and a background made out of a real-life image.

This was my first time using a 3D Animation/Modeling Software. Autodesk Maya.

I modeled a Skyscraper.

I also inserted my 2D Background into the software to create a scene with Maya’s camera tool.
A scene of going up while climbing up.
