Story

from the author

“I have always loved Disney’s movies and Princes and the Frog 2D version was the perfect movie for me to try and create in 3D. I have chosen a segment from it which is about 15 scenes long. I like working on this personal project in my spare time.”

Planning the project

It was used Disney’s 2D movie as a storyboard separating the scenes along with the audio with Blender’s Video Editor.

3D Modelling

The Frog was sculpted and textured in ZBrush animated and rendered in Maya/Arnold.

Frog’s UV, texture and normal maps were exported from ZBrush to Maya.

The furniture and the environment were created in Maya. The detail on the chair was created in ZBrush.
