This year for my passion project I wanted to make an animation in blender. Blender is a free 3D modeling software where you can make anything from cool renders to video game assets to my project an animation.
This animation is inspired by a Chinese mythological story about carps jumping over the “Dragon Gate” which is a legendary waterfall. After they do this, they are rewarded for their perseverance by being turned into a dragon.
I wanted to do this project because I have wanted to be an animator for a while now and this was the perfect way to get a taste of what it would be like to be one.
I do feel that this project is still unfinished, but I am still happy with what I have made in the past couple months. I wish I could have had more time to add something else happen after the dragon flies off at the end.
