Meet the Zoogs! OK, you probably never did, unless you watched
the Disney Channel in the U.S. a couple of years back, in which case you
might have seen Joe, Dotcom, Zoogina, Twitch or other Zoog characters
acting as hosts, introducing shows or performing in interstitial spots.
Markus first met them when the Zoog characters became the hosts of two
excellent trivia games from Disney Interactive, titled Zoog
Genius 1 and 2.

Although they were cel shaded in concept, the Zoog characters
were always rendered using either a toon shader in Maya
or as flash animations. Markus used Maya
to model, rig and animate the Dotcom, Zoogina, Browser and
Twitch characters. The models were initially constructed
using NURBS and then converted to polygons for rendering
with a toon shader plugin. |
