PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This set of illustrations uses 3D modeling technology, with the help of C4D to build models of cartoon characters and food, set proportions, and shapes. In the early design stage, collect inspiration, study popular cartoon styles and audience preferences, and determine the direction of high-saturation colors and simple and exaggerated shapes. Arranging light sources, enhance visual impact and artistic appeal. Use Octane renderer to render high-quality artworks.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Image size 1800Pixels x 1800Pixels

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The study revolves around the creation and application of 3D cartoon illustrations, using an interdisciplinary research type. With the help of literature, the development and application of 3D cartoon illustrations were sorted out, classic cases were analyzed, and online user surveys were conducted. The study shows that the unique style of 3D cartoon illustrations can meet the emotional demands of users, can be applied to brand promotion and product packaging, and enhance brand recognition.
CHALLENGE: 1. How to stand out among many food-themed designs is the primary challenge.
2. From the historical perspective of illustration development, traditional hand-painted illustrations are deeply rooted, and there are many stereotypes in the process of transformation to 3D digitalization.
3. Society's perception and demand for illustrations are constantly changing, and how to make the work fit the expectations of different social groups has also become a big challenge.
