After determining the content of the storyboard, I first started with the scene design. Because I wanted the whole animation style to be like a stop motion animation, I put the scene on the table.
Since then, I have referenced a lot of tabletops and hand-drawn the desk designs.
My first consideration is that the tabletop can’t have too many lights and meshes. Because I have to consider the rendering time, after all, the time of the job is limited.
Here is my design.
There is a window behind the desk and a shutter in front of the window.
The sun will cast a lovely shadow on the table through the shutter.
The monitor in the middle will also play videos.
The keyboard on the desktop will be used for character interaction.
The pegboard is used to add detail to the scene.
