Ghibli in 3D

For my year long Senior Project, I decided to 3D model a few screencaps from Miyazaki Films. I created my own interpretation of stills from Howl’s Moving Castle (2004), Ponyo on the Cliff By The Sea (2008), Nausicaä of The Valley of the Wind (1984), and rigged and animated a screencap from My Neighbor Totoro (1988).

Modeled in Autodesk Maya 2022, XGen Geometry Instancer, & Pixologic ZBrush
