RoboMaster
"RoboMaster" is a 3D animated promotional video aimed at showcasing the distinctive features of the product and promoting its capabilities.
Background & Concept
“DJI RoboMaster”
RoboMaster S1 originates from the globally acclaimed robotics education competition platform, RoboMaster Robotics Competition, adhering to the design philosophy of integrating education with entertainment. It is DJI's first educational robot, allowing you to develop unique skills for it, gain knowledge through challenging opponents, surpass yourself, and have a remarkable gaming experience!
Dynamic Storyboard
During the preparation phase, my professor suggested creating a storyboard, and I chose to go with a dynamic storyboard approach. I set up a basic white-frame scene, rendered keyframes for the storyboard, and compiled them into a dynamic storyboard.
Modeling
RoboMaster Modeling
RoboMaster features a complex robot structure with a focus on hard surfaces. I modeled it based on official images, striving to faithfully reproduce the design of the official product. Additionally, I performed rigging, allowing the rotation and movement of the robot's wheels and turret.
Scene Modeling
The main content of the animation involves RoboMaster's adventure in the city, so I created a cartoon-style city. Since the character will navigate through the streets, the scene is built around streets, including roads, buildings, trees, and infrastructure. During modeling, I intentionally controlled the polygon count and continuously optimized it to ensure smooth rendering speed in subsequent stages.

Fantasy World Adventure
While creating this animation, I was taking a course on cartoon-style scene modeling, so I used that style as a reference to construct a cartoon-style city. I placed the RoboMaster's story in this virtual city. The narrative follows RoboMaster's adventure through the scene, showcasing the features of the product as it follows the controller's commands.
