As the avatar's skin folds inward, it envelops the emotions hidden within the subconscious mind.Audiences have the freedom to use their hands to control the red lighting bulb, illuminating the scene and interacting with the flow of the skin. This interaction allows for a seamless morphing in and out or integration with the skin itself. The avatar embodies the movement of a balloon-like figure, floating freely in space with a rhythmic inflation and deflation. When the ceiling lights shift, creating moments of darkness, audiences can manipulate a red light using hand gestures, casting captivating silhouettes of the avatar. <img width="750" height="1003" width_o="750" height_o="1003" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b66cc4e6efe0c2bc3d818ec80ca5a6228e13f3c4cb14dec0f13af9dfa5dc3556/Balloon-1-opt.jpg" data-mid="207053811" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/b66cc4e6efe0c2bc3d818ec80ca5a6228e13f3c4cb14dec0f13af9dfa5dc3556/Balloon-1-opt.jpg" /> <img width="750" height="1003" width_o="750" height_o="1003" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/41a401a7560a0b6ca08c24d34389a84dca004d29b9fe4ca43164d4b62edd3b25/Balloon-3-opt.jpg" data-mid="207053810" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/41a401a7560a0b6ca08c24d34389a84dca004d29b9fe4ca43164d4b62edd3b25/Balloon-3-opt.jpg" /> <img width="750" height="1003" width_o="750" height_o="1003" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ee72b393e06a98f283dd6368dccf32c56d88f161f20113dc0ae5d6a425b6a312/Balloon-2_1-opt.jpg" data-mid="207053812" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/750/i/ee72b393e06a98f283dd6368dccf32c56d88f161f20113dc0ae5d6a425b6a312/Balloon-2_1-opt.jpg" /> https://keerzhao.com/Balloon-video Wed, 21 Feb 2024 19:05:54 +0000 oneear https://keerzhao.com/Balloon-video Balloon (2024)UNREAL ENGINE • CINEMA 4D • LEAP MOTION https://keerzhao.com/Balloon-des-copy Sat, 24 Feb 2024 21:15:46 +0000 oneear https://keerzhao.com/Balloon-des-copy 在数字时代，我们都有一个或多个数字分身，而数字人则是我们的一层新皮肤。 在以往的作品中，不管是视觉还是交互作品，都习惯用自己的3D模型，重塑一个“变种”，融入到项目中去。由一个本体，衍生出不一样的个体，在不同的媒介里，用不同的皮肤去讲故事。Balloon也是一样的。一直觉得人的皮肤具有弹性，可以拉扯，或许就和情绪一样，一种密而不透，需要一个小小的手电筒才会窥探到一些轮廓的东西。其中用虚幻引擎连接了leap motion对手进行识别并追踪，其中得到的数据可以用来控制场景中的红色光源。 场景里的数字人是用我自己的3D扫描模型而做的“变种”， 整个过程中它会慢慢由人的形态塌陷碰撞成一个漏气的气球。 场景中的灯光会忽明忽暗，这样观众就可以用自己的手来控制红色的灯，照亮“气球”的局部。 NEXT ︎︎︎ https://keerzhao.com/Avatar-Series-01-bg Wed, 21 Feb 2024 19:05:57 +0000 oneear https://keerzhao.com/Avatar-Series-01-bg Avatar Series 01&nbsp; (2023) UNREAL ENGINE • SUBSTANCE PAINTER • ZBRUSH • CINEMA 4D • DAZ • MAYA • CASCADEUR https://keerzhao.com/Avatar-Series-01 Sat, 24 Feb 2024 21:26:24 +0000 oneear https://keerzhao.com/Avatar-Series-01 This is an ongoing avatar rendering project.
