Anoxia

Anoxia is a  2D animated project about an overbearing mother and her meek daughter recovering their boat home from the bottom of the ocean.

​

The film has a lot of experimental techniques, one of which is using CG fish instead of 2D animated ones. My role was to model, texture rig and animate said fish.

​

As fish are so different from humans or quadrupeds, I was allowed to experiment with how to make these fish move. Two of the used ribbon spines, the other two used a simple FK system, and the last one used a Sine Deformer for the body, and the tail was driven by an nHair simulation.

​

They're all CellShaded, in order to match their 2D animated surroundings better.

Feel free to look at the fish turnarounds and demos on this page.
