So this was a very fun and completely insane project to play a part in... Some friends of mine (www.tado.co.uk) were commissioned to design an installation for the APM Mall in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year. They work in 2D but we've worked together on a couple of projects in the past where I've made 3D versions of their character designs. They asked me to work up some 3D turnarounds of their characters so that the factory in China would have a better understanding of how to translate the characters in the real world. And here's what happened :)
