"The Snow Button" is a short and quick animation I did in 2012. Most of the work are done in Blender3D, except the snow are AfterEffects particle.
Animation
I have upload the animation in both my Youtube and Vimeo channel.Concept
The original idea of this animation is base on an artwork I did earlier. The original plan for this project was to model like what I have in the artwork, a 3 head size character without eyeball. But I decided to change it to a chibi 2 head size character.Test Render
Below are some WIP shots showing the early stage of the model and toon shader. In later stage of the production, I felt that the head is abit too big, so I scale it down slightly.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHLPQwn2KN7JwSH76hvpOSCUXqJCjQCkDFikkjjO7xo9hnZQ_gOyAECvo_0QaH846x8MuNgy-eOTwNKoNGnT2pNYtnhDmCTghCvkOzr7T57nt6tlhTZ6ZeIqcSOWkMhnndsWS5PQp8AdJt/s1600/120917_snow_02.jpg)

I also did some test on render settings, playing around with different freestyle stroke setting. From LEFT to RIGHT: No outline, Thin outline, Thick outline.

In this animation, the background environment will be minimal. I am hoping I can achieve a simple but stylise art style.
