Trivial Pursuit 3d characters
This is a piece of work for leeds design agency ‘the spirit of’. The client is Hasbro games and the brief was to create / model and animate characters for use in a DVD version of the Trivial Pursuit game. Hence the characters are based on the cheese shaped wedges. The work covered a number of avenues of design for the characters, some with faces, some without, as the work was conceptual to see if Hasbro wanted to persue the ideas. The feedback from this initial set of work was very positive and the work is now going to be carried on by Hasbro’s in house animation department.www.thespiritof.co.uk
The image above shows the music man character and some of the morph targets created to allow the character to smile and blink. He does have arms, they are just invisible, it was easier to animate his hands and fingers when they were on the end of real arms !
