I used XGen Interactive to groom all characters, crafting a variety of hairstyles including curly, braided, twisted, and straight hair, as well as fur for the bull asset. For the African American characters, I designed and modeled their clothing using Marvelous Designer. Additionally, I textured all character and environment assets using Substance Painter. I modeled various assets such as Easel, paint materials, books, wall art, chairs, bookshelves, lower bookcases, window sills, amps, crayons, and cloth in Maya. I performed UV mapping in Maya for all assets. In ZBrush, I sculpted the octopus and green Scrump doll.
For lighting, I created setups for all scenes in Maya, including both cloudy and sunny day lighting. Additionally, in the cloudy scene, I used Bifrost in Maya to create the water, which was exported to a displacement map for use in the scene.
Following the scene creation, all scenes were composited in Nuke and exported to MP4 format using Media Encoder.
