The design language of the film also applies to the characters: no right angles

We have put the focus on a cartoony animation style. Therefore, we implemented cartoony functions in the rig that allowed us to create super cartooy animations.

Hello everyone! This is my graduation film "La Vida de una Piñata", which I made in a group of four this year. It was a super fun and rewarding project. In this project I was responsible for many disciplines simultaneously. I did Direction, Art Direction, Technical Direction, Modeling, Texturing, Animation 3D, Animation 2D, Graphics, Lighting and Compositing. We used Blender as our main production tool.
