Concept

The scene is set on a small tropical island in the middle of an ocean. Its a lazy atmosphere with a holiday mood.

Our band consists of three tropical fruity guys...

Rum Runner - The lead guitarist

Electric Lizard - On the keyboard



Pina Colada - On the percussions

 

As the sun shines down on the sandy beach, the band peforms "CheeseBurger in Paradise".

From technical point of view, the scene is rendered realtime. We have used OGRE3d graphics engine.

We used the base code from MotionViewer application (developed by James Lee), and built our application on top of that code.

Modelling was done using Blender and Maya. All rigging was done using Maya.

 

Theme inspiration

The inspiration for the theme "CheeseBurger in Paradise" comes directly from the diner by the same name. http://www.cheeseburgerinparadise.com

The characters we have created are actually prototypes of the creatures seen on the cocktails menu. Most drinks come with a small creature made of few fruits and wearing dark black sunglasses.
Here are a few of them.

The idea of a tropical island follows directly from the selection of characters and the theme 'paradise'. We hoped to convey a colourful and carefree mood via the location.

The piece of music which the band performs is originally by Jimmy Buffet, and this also is titled "CheeseBurger in Paradise". Its also played in the diner now and then.
