Through the Danish School of Media and Journalism, we have been assigned a school assignment dealing with the referendum on 1 June 2022. We have to design a campaign that influences young people in a positive way so that they want to vote in the referendum.

Our primary solution is an app/game in which users can create and customize their own avatar. I was tasked with creating the avatar for the prototype application, which i mainly will be covering in this project.

Since this was a school assignment we were very limited on time and therefore needed to find a solution which could be accomplished relatively quickly. We made use of Blender's realtime render engine: Eevee. With Eevee it was easy to change and render animations without having to wait longer than 1-2 minutes.

Eevee made it possible to quickly render several animations in minutes, below is a screen-recording showing the render of the waving animation. Settings like motion blur, bloom, screen-space-reflection and ambient occlusion was adjusted to improve the visual look.

After i modeled the character i used Mixamo's online rigging tool to easily rig the character and find different animations for the character to perform. This made it easy to swap out animations and it also saved alot of time.

All the animation are from Mixamo's online animation library.

If you want to test the final prototype you can scan the QR code below. The UI-design was made by Astrid Jakobsen and Michelle Krefeld.
