Story Synopsis
Nautical Ridge tells the story of Jim Bob, a bunny who runs a fishing goods store, Bobbin' Bobs'. He spends his days selling goods to the villagers of Nautical Ridge. Little to the town's knowledge, Jim Bob has a dark past involving his late fox partner, Bonnie Bob. As Jim Bob navigates his life, the mystery of past begins to wash up to the surface.
About Our Project
Nautical Ridge is a 3D animation project that tells a story through replicating a low-poly console game. Using 3D, texturing, and rendering elements, we stylzed our animation to appear low-poly. The setting of Nautical Ridge takes place within a game on a console in the early 2000s. We enter this world in the beginning of the animation where the intro to the game plays.
