Wells Fargo Self Promotion

Software Used:
Blender, Media Encoder, Audacity

External resources:

Brief Summary of Project:
This whole idea branched from modeling the sign and in having researched Wells Fargo signage I noticed the stage coach. I then repurposed an old sketchup building model and imported it into Blender. I UV mapped and textured the building on which the sign was going to hang. I then thought it would be great to have the stage coach in the shot and maybe a live horse that people could see. In seeing the horse run action I thought it would be even better in action. I laid out a path with surrounding foliage and rigged the camera to orbit around the sign with my personal message to HR just below. Thought it would be fun to add a personalized license plate.

Workflow Methodology:
Using a CAD drawing of the front and side of a stage coach I began to model out the body. When I was happy with the general shape I re-meshed it somewhat densely knowing this was for a video not a game asset. I added the wheel rotation based on forward vector and animated the model to move with the camera following behind. All textures used were found within one of many paid Blender material asset libraries to which I subscribe and the horse animated models were from sketchfab. I procured the horse running sound clip from an audio market and clipped it using Audacity. This was a weekend project from conception to final render.
