Have a look at how we turned Alan into 3D! -->
MODELLING
We created models for each part that makes up Alan, from his ears, to his bright eyes, to the inner parts that make him who he is. He even has a hidden metal heart inside!
TEXTURING
Since Alan has been around for a while, he has braved quite the number of storms and an even higher number of adventures. Therefore, he has developed a bit of wear and tear. It's okay, it's what gives him charm. So of course, the texturing work had to be up to par to do his story justice.
RIGGING
This is where we gave Alan a skeleton so he can move. A rig is technically like a puppeteer's strings, it's what controls your creation!
ANIMATION
The animating stage is where Alan becomes a movie star; strutting, leaping, and emoting his way into the limelight. It’s like choreographing a dance party for pixels; fun, precise, and full of personality!
RENDERING
The 3D rendering stage is where all the hard work gets its glow-up! It’s like hitting “print” on your scene.
EDITING
Finally, Alan gets his movie final cut done and ready to be released into the world.

Rusty Monkey (ourselves!)
With our logo changing slightly, we wanted to give Alan, our mascot, a makeover while also testing our 3D skills with a low-pressure, fun project. We also wanted to have an asset that we could use over and over, for various marketing content ideas.
A 3D model with interchangeable textures and parts, that could be posed and animated to serve any wild ideas the marketing team might have.
Our creative guild, lead by our animator Iulia.
'He's awesome!'
He came out great and he has featured on a lot of our social media posts, event video stings, flyers, marketing emails, job descriptions and even on our website. The model has been made 5 years ago and we still get lots of use out of our hard work on the initial build. Alan is the best!
