WU TANG x RUN THE JEWELS 3D MASHUP

Here's a breakdown of the technical aspects:

1. Hand Modeling in Blender

🐝 The hands were customized using the Character Creator tool, focusing only on the hand geometry.

🐝 Cylinders were used with the Solidify, Mirror, and Shrink Wrap modifiers to create a bandage effect on the hands.

🐝 Sculpting brushes, particularly the Grab Brush, were used to refine the bandage layers and achieve a realistic look.

2. Texturing in Substance Painter

🐝 Textures were applied using Substance Painter, with materials customized to match the desired colors.

🐝 Blood splatters were added by creating multiple layers with varying opacity.

🐝 Dirt and grime effects were also applied to enhance realism.

3. Scene Setup and Animation in Blender

🐝 A scene was set up with a camera focused on an empty object to maintain center framing.

🐝 Animated bees were imported from Sketchfab and placed throughout the scene.

🐝 A chain and Wu-Tang logo were integrated into the scene, with lighting effects enhanced using the Compositor.

4. Final Composition in After Effects

🐝Animated sequences and still images were exported from Blender and imported into After Effects.

🐝 Text elements were added, along with some elements from the original tour poster.

🐝 Different animation techniques were experimented with using the still images and found footage.
