Commercial: Toshiba Seriously Japanese 3-poster Ad

This is a 3-part ad that ran on digital posters. The concept of the ad was simply to use the Japanese origami style of folding. Terry and I worked on this series, with him doing the first two (left and middle), and me doing the third. Terry consolidated all the shading in V-Ray, so that once the rig or animation was complete, they will all, more or less, render the same.

The rigging was, of course, the most complicated bit, along with cutting up the geometry to make it appear to fold. especially in the section I was working on, as it featured lots of round corners, pipe rails, etc. I found it difficult to translate a generator of the design the client wanted to fold like paper. In the end, I wonder if it looked more like a Transformer animation than folding paper.
