Chirofinfula

What is Chirofinfula? Honestly, I have no clue! I just kind of threw it together in Blender and Substance Painter.
And what does it do? Well, I've been trying to figure that out for ages... and yeah, it's pretty much useless so far.
This whole thing started in a Design & Animation class at Mograph Mentor back in 2020. Learned a ton and met some awesome people! We focused on style frames, animation, and Art Direction. Turns out, making style frames is totally different from making the actual animation. I got super hyped and probably bit off way more than I could chew at the time.
It pushed me to learn so much – modeling, UV mapping, texel density, rendering glass, rigging, exporting, camera settings, optimizing, music mixing, all that jazz. I've got a real soft spot for this project. Had to put it on hold a bunch of times, and it basically fried my laptop trying to render it! Had to wait until I got a better machine. This thing took me two whole years to finish! Hope you dig it. So, without further ado, I give you... the one and only Chirofinfula!
