Brief

What if the worlds of Pokemon and Evil Dead collided? Trainer Ash from Pokemon goes on a rampage to rid the world of an infestation of Pokemon but not without the assistance of some CGI.

Process

Models were found from different sources online from fans who ripped the original FBX files from various of the 3D games. The issue our team ran into was jumbled up UV wraps and triangulated polygons that did not play well with Cinema4D. With some elbow grease, and trial and error, we were able to prep the models to add animations from Mixamo, a motion capture bank, and spliced together different takes of motion capture to create the multiple character animations in the project.

Outcome

UV wraps are usually the bane of motion designers, but became a necessary roadblock to overcome in order to get this project done. I knew this often overlooked feature in Cinema 4D had to be learned sooner or later and there is no better time to push yourself than under the gun.
