Main Character designs
HOT & BROWN was a group effort for a minor in Medialism at Hanze.
I worked on the character designs and character models. We had never worked on a project like this before so this was a big challenge that taught me a lot of things about 3D animation (and how hard it is)
In the scene I animated, the scientist grabs a brain sample from a cryogenic storage container. The brain sample is modelled after the part of the brain that is responsible for memory(Hippocampus)
This is because the AI uses human memories to generate new ones.
The scientist character has a robotic arm (because it's cool) Animating the robotic arm was a cool challenge that paid off great. The arm went through a lot of design changes, the final product has a special hand with adjustable fingers that move along a ring
