MOLLY BURKE
3D ARTIST & ANIMATOR
Mushroom Adventure
March 2022

Mushroom Adventure was a final project created for a course I took during my sophomore year at Conrish. I was given creative freedom to use any medium too create a minute long video. Since I was beginning my 3D animation journey I decided to create a simple animation where the camera follows a lost light orb through a tall grassy swamp filled with glowing mushrooms. The entire animation took a month to create since I was brand new to the software and concepts around 3D environmental layout and animating. All environmental elements were downloaded free from the internet. I designed the layout and animated the character and camera motion. I had assistance from a fellow classmate in learning how to animate my camera on a track and how to light my scenes.


Animating my orb character took the most of my time because I had to create a personality from such a simple object only using anticipation and exaggeration of movements. I also learned a lot about lighting in 3D such as how to make an object glow and how to light an environment as though the moon was a minimal light source.
