I created this 3D project using Maya, ZBrush, Unreal Engine, After Effects, and Premiere as a protest against killing pigs for food and profit. The simple dialogue has the pig approach the camera, say “it’s killing me, killing you?”, then walk off. Client Chris Stewart provided the pig model files. The original rig lacked facial and ear controls, with faulty body and leg functions, so I re-rigged it using Advance Skeleton for quadruped flexibility. For time-sensitive work, I used free Unreal Engine 5 assets and a quadruped boar animation pack, blended sequences in the sequencer, exported as FBX to Maya, adjusted with ReParent tool and additive animation layers. Imported back to Unreal, I designed the level to feel lived-in per Chris’s vision. Added sound FX in the sequencer, balanced audio, applied post-processing like color correction, lens flare, bloom, and chromatic aberration. Included flies, bees, and creepy crawlies from a marketplace pack for authentic farm vibes. Exported final render to After Effects and Premiere.
