This really just started as me experimenting with production of full CG character, i wanted to see how much i could achieve without outside help
The shooting of the live action short film really came in late as an after-thought, i had spent the previous year or so creating this series of fully modeled, textured, shaded, rigged and animated CG characters. I felt like producing a short film with my limited resources would be a good way to wrap it up and move on to the next thing.
The goal with the series was to realize creatures from the Pokemon series that would add the absolute most necessary features to distance them from their usual cartoony look, this meant that achieving a completely realistic look was never a concern
I have a full rundown of the process on a Sketchfab community article:
