This is an animation I created to help spread awareness about autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. I started by creating the 3D model in ZBrush. I use multiple reference photos to make the diseased kidney as realistic as possible. Then I uploaded the finished model to Keyshot where I added materials and light source to make it look a bit more realistic. The final step was to add all of my assets to After Effects to make one cohesive and engaging animation! Check out the link below to see the full animation and the simplified work process description.

I started in ZBrush with basic shapes and slowly started building in the details.
After the model was finished in ZBrush, I used Keyshot to apply some more materials and render out the .pngs I would use later for the animation.
After all of the images were rendered, I used them to put together the animation in After Effects! I added background music, animated the text to explain the disease, and animated the model so it would move to key points on the screen.
I hope you've learned a bit about ADPKD!
