So, this is really my second short film ever made and the first one was really just basic 3ds max. Mostly this project was made for two people to work on and after I finished my storyboard, the second person kinda jumped off this project, so I have to do it all by myself now. I still use the very basic in 3ds max but I hope it will turn out as i hope.

The story is simple. A crab is living peacefully on his own little island in the ocean and drinking his daily drink. But the machine he is using is producing a large amount of gas and the black smoke bulging from it starts to have some impact. *the story-turn* : the water starts to rise slowly and he realize its from all the pullution he is causing. And when he turns of his drink-machine ( :D ) the water sinks again. He then spreads the word to other crabs to stop pullute the air. ( some kind of "anti-global warming" point)

Been working on the project for a while on my sparetime and i will post the updates.

It is suppose to have a comic feel to it and im trying to keep it as simple as possible. Comments are most welcome, cuz im very new to the 3d-world :D

hi ,

i saw the short clip of the crab moving ..its really nice ....
amm... the water you made looks very blue?? ...cartoonish style...needs some coloring Adjustment and reflection Adjustment also,
also in the place for the crab i think you must make some depth in the scene..


wish you best luck...

regards..
