I then took the Adobe Illustrator file of the TEC logo and broke it into individual pieces as prep for animation. Each arm section needed to move in tandem with other attached sections. Rigging is the second step of the process. I created two 3D printer bots and one router bot. I “built” the robot arms in Cinema 4D out of basic geometric shapes with three articulation points for movement that turned my models into virtual puppets. Modeling is the first step of the actual creation process. I decided to animate three robots working together to create the logo for the space thereby illustrating the intersection of cooperation and cutting edge technology that the TEC embodies. This guiding principle informed my process. It’s a workspace designed specifically for the collaboration and creation of ideas. The TEC center is home to 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC routers. Utilizing Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, and Cinema 4D lite, I created a short sequence intended to illustrate and encapsulate the nature of our newly renovated home here in the Telcom building: The Technology Engagement Center (TEC)Īs with any production project, I started with research and a previsualization. Our process normally incorporates 2D animation however we see a need for 3D animation/modeling rising on the horizon. Since joining OIT as a video producer last year, my responsibilities have broadened to include animation and its integration into our production workflow.
