CGI 3D Animated Planet Unknown Short Film by Shawn Wang. Featured on www.cgmeetup.net/home/planet-u...
At the end of the 21st century mankind were facing global resource depletion. Space Rovers were sent out to find potential inhabitable planets.
Planet Unknown is a passion project from director Shawn Wang. Animated over eleven months it was the final project for Shawn’s course at the Communication University of China. The attention to detail is exceptional with jaw dropping renders. Both the pace of the film and the use of shots is impeccable.
Planet Unknown recently won Best Animated Short at the Burbank International Film Festival.
Software's: Cinema 4D, plugin TurbulenceFD and Octane for C4D were heavily used for most of the tasks. Houdini was used to fracture things. Then Zbrush for sculpting, Mari for texturing, After Effects for compositing, and Premiere for editing. Python and JavaScript were used for scripting in C4D, Mari and AE, which helped speed up the process a lot.
It took around 4 months to build the 3D assets. Then Shawn moved on to animatic previews. Each individual shot got more clear and problems to solve became more specific. Then the rest of the time were mainly focused on building scenes, keyframe animation, FX simulation, rendering and compositing.
Director biography: Shawn Wang is an animation director and 3D artist. Having a passion for CGI and storytelling, Shawn loves creating narrative visuals through all types of media.

@EllAntares 7 жыл бұрын

its very unlikely from scientific PoV for a solid planet to have such meteor belt unless it was recent (under 50-100 years) catastrophe..large bodies naturally get rid of such belts . Uranus and alike do not count, first that's ice belt consisting from very thin powder, second, being 8 times larger than earth, it got same gravity force, because whole planet is "made" of ammonia snow

@Private_Colceri 7 жыл бұрын

+EllAntares You're exactly right. During the video I had actually guessed the planet was in the very early stages of becoming a life bearing one. Being that (This is still a theory, but generally the most accepted) Earth is generally theorized as to have gained water from a relentless shower of asteroids, in which at the end of the video it could be noted that there's steam rising from the debris and clouds forming. That's probably the best way to explain the asteroid belt around the planet. Though, I'd be significantly more concerned about how close / large the moon is and the likely scenario that planet becomes a tidal one. (An ocean planet with extreme water fluctuations, I.E tidal waves ripping the surface to shreds every few minutes. As far as my definition on the matter goes.)

That 'unknown planet' is pretty much the young Earth. The Moon has already been formed by this time and our young planet was being bombarded for some time, most likely bringing life/water with it. That 'moon' will be vital in the planets seasons and currents in its oceans some day. So the process of what happened here on Earth repeats. Except this time we wont have to wait millions and millions of years for life to evolve. Pretty cool ^_^
