In the process of creating a mind map, the main branches were classified into Shape, Purpose, and History, which each have different meanings. In Shape, I will not only analyze the animals that form the gargoyle and the meanings implied by the animals, but compare the shapes according to location, status, size, and gender. Also, the duality of religion, for example, eagles are sublime but sometimes arrogant, snakes are beneficial to agricultural lands and symbolizes healing or resurrected Christ, while in rainforest regions they are perceived as evil animals. In Purpose, I will literally look at the motive and purpose of making gargoyles. This is not only for the purpose of draining water, but also for its religious significance (increased religious beliefs, whimsy, and protection from demons). History We will be examined in-depth how the relationship between the sculptor and the buyer changed over time, what time it was produced, the medieval gargoyle and the Victorian gargoyle. On the inspiration board I placed on the right, I placed not only gargoyles made of real stone, but also gargoyles across the industry (games, movies, and animation industries).Here is my Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/hongart1108/gargoyle/

I visited Cambridge’s major universities and parks five times to get primary research on gargoyles. As a college, I visited the gonville and caius college and took a total of 28 gargoyles. Most of them were restored due to erosion and weathering, but after reading local university newspapers, what I felt was that it was worth the research in that modern masons tried to embody the gargoyles of the Middle Ages as much as possible. There are also large and small gargoyles around King’s college, so I left them as pictures. Gargoyles of the Victorian era visited the Catholic church of our lady and were able to observe more dynamic and less formal gargoyles than medieval gargoyles. Both universities and churches had extremely finely carved gargoyles, which were not enough to be implemented with ordinary cameras. Accordingly, the surface of the moon was captured with a digital camera capable of shooting with good pixels.
First of all, I studied gargoyles from Gonville and Caius Collage, Cambridge and St John’s College as a study of medieval gargoyles.
Digital drawings
All of the above four gargoyles were drawn by digital drawing. The upper two are St.john’s chepel’s medieval gargoyles, and the lower two are the gonville and caius gargoyles. What I feel when I see gargoyles in the Middle Ages is that whenever I see them, they are clichéd and boring. Unlike gargoyles in the Vitoria era, they are formal and faithful only to their use (water outlet). The size, orientation and appearance are also similar, making it difficult to find the individuality of each animal, and most of the faces are mammals, especially lions, which reduce diversity. But one thing that was interesting to me was that medieval churches and gargoyles had colors! In fact, some of the unspoilt gargoyles still have color, and the process of studying the shapes and colors that people think about specific objects at that time will be interesting and valuable. And I was able to find the ‘color’ used in the Middle Ages after several visits to Cambridge, which I discovered at St John’s College. I have inserted the picture below.
Colors of Medieval period – St John’s College (1511)

In the main entrance of St John’s College, which was built in 1511 (medieval era), I can see the use of a variety of colors. Also, since this building was built at the end of the Middle Ages, colors were used in earlier medieval buildings. I can guess that the existence of colors is placed not only St John’s college but also can be found in other medieval buildings.
Right next to King’s college I can see the Gonville and Caius College, where I can see a specific person holding a specific structure. At first, I didn’t know who he was, but when I learned that the building he was holding was the Gate of Honor, Gonville & Caius College, I compared it to an oil painting portrait of John Caius, who is the founder and doctor of the university, and found that it was consistent. The college was built in 1348, the Medieval era (AD 476~ 1453). However, the whole 28 pieces of gargoyles were reborn on November 8, 2015, due to corrosion. As re-produced gargoyles were inspired by original shapes and purpose, the shapes of the Gargoyles are constant and formal. It was intended to discharge water, protruding from the top of the roof and more banal and formal than the Victorian Gargoyles (June 20, 1837 – January 22, 1901), etc, the gargoyles that I drew below.
1 – 2.Further study of Gonville & Caius college
Photo by seokwon
Further research by Gonville and Caius college looked for the logo that symbolizes the university and the meaning of the logo. Founder John Caius was a royal doctor, and the university he founded was also a medical school. And we can see shells on the left side and snakes on the right side. Moving to the point,’snake’ is a symbol of healing. According to Greek legend, Asclepius, the god of medicine, always hung a snake on a stick and healed people. However, his medical skills were so excellent that he saved the dead life of Hades, the god of death, and died after being hated by Zeus. In other story, snakes were historically worshiped in agricultural areas. Snakes ate rats to minimize damage to crops. Also, the appearance of the snake taking off its skin shows the image of having the power of ‘immortality’ like the resurrected Christ. Accordingly, WHO selected two snakes encircling each other as its logo, such as Gonville and Caius College.
‘Scallop’ also represents healing. Based on the story of James Seashell, it is said that the scallops saved their lives when they fell into the sea. They are also symbols of fertility.
2. Victorian gargoyles and grotesques in Cambridge
The Catholic church of our lady is a church located a little far from King’s college. Outside the church is composed of countless gargoyles, and each of the various poses, sizes, and facial descriptions is interesting enough to overwhelm the viewer. As the church was built in the Victorian era, gargoyles are out of form, dynamic and fun. The choice of animals that inspired gargoyles was also great. There were various attempts, including lions, goblins, humans, bats, chimeras, fish, eagles, and frogs. What I want to study most is the kind of ‘symbol’ that is given to each specific gargoyle. I figured out the face of one of them who made the gargoyles, and this is a considerable discovery!

Discovery I found: A presumed mason of the Catholic Church of our lady holds his tools (mallet and chisel) used to sculpt gargoyles.
Traditional drawings
Shading with pencil
I used a pencil drawing to draw one of the gargoyles of the Catholic church of our lady. I start sketching and tone at the same time, so the sketch is somewhat inaccurate. The demons of the Middle Ages usually took the shape of a goat and became chimeras by being combined with bat wings. I believe that the criterion that distinguishes the good and evil of gargoyles is their wings. If gargoyle have the wings of a bat, it will be more like a devil, however if gargoyle have the wings of an eagle, it will be more like an angel. There are always gods and angels at the top of the church, and most angels do not have bat wings(But this is just a personal opinion).
Painting with watercolor
This time, I drew with watercolors. As I bit sketched with a pencil before painting over it, there are pencil marks. The reason gargoyles are particularly fresh and entertaining, unlike other contemporary statues, is that they deal with ‘human nature and desire’. Even being placed in the church is cruel and sexual. The original gargoyle I painted in watercolor is one gargoyle biting another. To increase Brutal effect, I emphasized each face description and drew additional blood. Gargoyles that are dynamic and require a lot of space to arrange, such as mouth-pullers, are placed in the corner’ as above. I think this is also an important factor.
1 – 1. Digital drawings
Above and below 8 pictures were drawn with digital techniques bringing Intuitive benefits. The general animals represent vertebrates, primates, and amphibians; especially leopards, lions, and tigers were commonly used as they often symbolized God’s authority (but they did not always show virtue). Other rare animals include frogs, bats, eagles, snakes, and dragons. Frogs are symbols of pornography and sexual desire, and bats have the role of powerful gatekeepers. The eagle was noble to see far away, but sometimes it was a symbol of arrogance. Snakes and dragons symbolize the resurrected Christ.
1 – 2. Digital drawings
I was also curious about the change in interpretation according to the position of the gargoyle rather than the meaning inherent in the animal figures of the gargoyle. Usually, at the top of the church, there was a figure of a god, or angel, instead of a gargoyle, which expressed a divine judgment, or a triumph of God. Also, when I visited the interior of the Catholic Church of our lady, there was not a single gargoyle inside, unlike the exterior of the building. This may have been the role of a gatekeeper to guard the church against outside demons, or it may have been a problem simply placing a bizarre image inside the church.
Visiting Catholic church of our lady
Taking pictures on Catholic church of our lady, Cambridge
I read gargoyle and grotesque as secondary research. It was possible to see valuable data not available on the Internet. I also watched Gargoyles-guardians of the gate as a documentary. It was learned not only of European gargoyles, but also Menherton’s gargoyles of New York.

Why is it important for studying Tiger and Lion movements?
Photo by seokwon
Photo by seokwon
The religious, historical, and symbolic importance of lions and tigers has a great base in Eastern and Western cultures. Taking gargoyles as an example, more than two-thirds of them are made up of chimeras (monsters of two or more animals), and the chimera’s head is almost always a lion. In addition, the proportion of gargoyles is mostly owned by carnivores, so if I study the movement according to changes in the skeleton and muscles of lions and tigers, which are representative symbols of carnivores, later in creating animations related to gargoyles, and starting 3D animation. It will be applied as a big advantage in sculpting work.
To check the skeletal structure and muscle structure of a tiger, I must see it directly or indirectly. However, there is a limitation in viewing the actual bone structure in the form of a photograph, and it is a problem in calculating the sense of distance. So, I’m here at https://sketchfab.com. I downloaded the tiger’s skeleton and muscle structure in 3D format and studied it simply. My idea is to express the bones and muscle structure of the tail including the spine in the existing tiger picture (front). In addition, the process of assembling and guessing the location of the bone will be a valuable experience.
There was no big problem in drawing the tiger digitally. First, I drew a basic line, and then I applied the basic color of the tiger. But I wasn’t satisfied, it felt like a stuffed tiger, not a living tiger. Therefore, I added a little purple to the skin tone to create a reddish skin color. It took a total of four hours to draw the face of the tiger.
At the time, there was a big problem in drawing the skeleton of a tiger. At that time, there were no tiger skeleton data. Although there was, the pixels were so severe that the skeletal structure could not be recognized, and the picture was not completely depicted. Also, the skeleton did not match with the tiger’s front figure, which I had drawn in advance, and suffered two failures. On the third attempt, I found the 3D modeling site mentioned earlier, and on the fourth, it was finally successful!In fact, there was a small problem with the final tiger work. The tiger’s front figure and the inclination of the skeleton did not match. Instead, Failure 3 was more accurate for the slope, but the reason why it was not adopted as the final version was not interesting to see because the skeletal structure was not clearly visible.
Short GIF animation
There is a big difference between the way I make an animation by guessing the tiger’s movement and the way I capture the tiger walking and draw it on it. If I capture the video of a tiger walking one by one, then draw it one by one and make it into a GIF, I will be able to produce incredibly accurate animations. But before that, I decided to make a simple GIF, and I’m going to create a very short tiger animation consisting of 10 chapters. To this end, I took 10 animal photos on YouTube, opened them in Photoshop, and finished them by adjusting the degree of impermeability.
What I felt after making it is’The quality of the work is determined as much as the picture is drawn’. When it comes to cost performance, the price and performance are so constant that there is only a little sense of accomplishment after making it.However, it is still worthwhile to be able to study skeletal structure and animation.
As in the previous work, after thinking that if I draw as much as possible, I can produce the highest quality animation, the lion image uploaded in good quality from YouTube’s national geography channel was split into 34 photos and drawn one by one. I carried out such simple labor for two days, and I thought I was doing something wrong during production, but I had no choice but to proceed. I tried to draw it as simple as possible, but I did quite a bit of detail.
Long GIF animation
After repeating this simple labor for two days, I got respect for the animation makers at Ghibli and Disney. I was reminded that people still think animation software will make animation itself with few or even without labor. but that was not happened in fact unfortunately. What I feel about the animation I have made is that the overall quality is quite high, but I feel a little bored because it is not a dynamic movement. In addition, the lack of ‘naturalness’, one of the important factors that distinguish good animation, is the biggest drawback of this work. To compensate for this, it is necessary to get out of Photoshop animation software as soon as possible.
Three main Artist research
1. Isao Takahata basic research
2 – 1. Japanese Youkai intensive Study
1. Treasure ship: As a result of translating Japanese into English, the illustration represents a’treasure ship’. This is a scene in the second half of the movie’Pompoko’, when raccoons, including Gonta, die by humans, ride a treasure ship to the underworld. Even if I couldn’t read Japanese, the first reason that I guessed it was a treasure ship was that I saw a lot of instruments in the ship. Usually’musical instruments’ symbolized money and power in East Asia in the past. 2. Raccon:In the illustration, I can see raccoons holding each other’s bodies and standing straight. It also emits a mysterious fire, and I discovered that this was also included in Pompoko. Raccoons that can transform into specific objects can transform into something big by joining forces. 3. ?: I’m not sure, but I matched it by seeing the ghost hanging upside down from the ceiling. I don’t know the exact name of the yokai
7. Biwa(琵琶) and Koto(琴): These are the ghosts that appear in the 14th century’s first scroll-style ghost illustrations. However, the illustrations I inserted were remade in the 18th century, so there are some differences in form. In the original (14th century) painting, as seen in the Pompoko movie, you can see Biwa pulling the Koto string. 8. The simpler the Yokai, the more it maintained a certain shape even if it became a homage later. The same goes for the cast iron pot, and the original 14th-century painting is shown in the pompoko on the right side.
11. Slippery: It is one of the most impressive monsters among the monsters I researched. Literally translated in English, it is ‘Slippery’. I can see the shape of the face melting down.
12. badgeron the left the illustration 13. Shadow ghost: The Shadow Ghost appears at the beginning of pompoko’s ghost parade.
17. The photos I have placed above were created to illustrate the connection between “The illustrated Night parade of Hundred Demons” and the animation Pompoko. First of all, one thing was certain: the animation Pompoko was inspired by Japanese scroll-style ghost paintings in the 14th century. For this reason, most of the Yokai focused on restoring animation rather than reinterpretation. It was actually proved as thesis data. On the other hand, the illustrations I investigated were rejected in the 18th century, when the Japanese Ukiyo-e (浮世絵) was popular, and therefore, they were used for more commercial purposes in the form of woodcut rather than scroll-type drawings. Also, the figures and stories of the monsters have changed over the centuries. The reason that impressed me most was that although I referenced the illustration of the oldest version of the yokai at the time of Pompoko, I found 16 kinds of yokai that matched “The Illustrated Night parade of a Hundred Demons” produced approximately 200 years later. Paid, and this could be the first. Therefore, I will compare it with the original illustration in the form of a scroll, and after further researching the’Giant Mouse’ of “The illustrated Night parade of a Hundred Demons”, I will produce it in the style of Pompoko animation.

4. Enjoy an GIF animation
How I felt after making: First of all, the success factor has great significance in that it showed a very in-depth analysis and exploration ability about the origin and story of the book, and restored the woodblock print of the Japanese ghost around the 17th century in the form of animation as much as possible. This is valuable in that I tried to understand the overall Japanese ghost culture and applied it to artist secondary research. However, in the animation production process, It was true that the number of pictures constituting the overall frame was insufficient, which made the animation more awkward. It is also a pity that there is no dynamic movement, and it is not fun to see, and the scene of eating a document, which is one of the most important features of raigo, has not been seen. There was a limitation in realizing the movement of a large and fast mouse, and it was not possible to show emotion indirectly through the facial expression of raigo. In conclusion, there was great growth in the process of developing ideas, but the final animation formation process is indeed unfortunate.
1. First, I prepared a black oil paste as an ingredient. As a specific company,’SENNELER’ was used. 2. Roughly draw an object to be drawn on paper with oil pastel. In this process, there is no need to be afraid of mistakes, and it is appropriate to boldly draw the overall size, proportion, and position. I drew one of the impressive gargoyles in the Catholic church of our lady as an example object.
3. If the rough drawing using oil pastel in step 2 is completed, place the paper produced in step 2 on the ‘light box’ and turn on the light box (I used the drawing pad as a light box). 4. From now on is important. Put the watercolor paper on the number two paper. Then, I can identify the approximate shape or location, and draw a picture to be used as the final illustration on watercolor paper with an ink pen. In fact, even in this process, I drew a pretty rough picture.
5. It’s time to draw water color. After preparing a brush and watercolor paint, I can color it on the watercolor paper produced in step 4. It was judged that it would be difficult to use natural’tones’ using a brush and paints like me, so after drawing a sketch with a colored pencil for watercolor, the paper was delicately wiped with water on a watercolor brush. All of the courses I have listed (the ones Quentin Blake painted) are all inspired by his homepage, and I am sure there will be no setbacks in the overall order, although there may be differences in the listing of specific courses.

In fact, recreating and reinterpreting Quentin Blake’s illustrations does not require special art expertise. Of course, he knows and respects that he spent tremendous effort and time in pioneering his painting style, but the most important thing is the content, or creativity. What I felt while recreating his paintings with gargoyles is that they cannot be drawn without knowing the pleasure of instant creation. Also, because it was instinctive and the excitement of the moment was trapped in an eternal painting, it made people seek more for how much it felt than to be realistic. I think this is the reason that no matter how much I draw to go to an art university in East Asia, I cannot satisfy myself and the viewer even inside. To get to the main point, the simple and exaggerated face description gave the drawing dynamics and at the same time had fun. Also, by directly conveying the emotions, the viewers can feel the emotions the producer felt. This plays an important role in helping to remember the rough images of the early stage as I move to less traditional media (3D animation, AR, etc.) later, and this has a positive effect on the final work. Therefore, I plan to create rough sketches and storyboards using Quentin Blake’s style before creating 3D animation and AR.

3. Stop motion – Tim Burton
4. Enjoy the stop motion
I used some parts of ‘Eternal Father, Strong to Save’ as a song. It is an English song and is said to be used for funerals. The reason for using this song is to emphasize the bizarre feeling by simultaneously using two images with completely opposite atmospheres. Gargoyles originally intended to spew water out of the church when it rains, but it also protects the church from evil. So, while there are splendid gold foods inside the church, the internal gargoyles (except the medieval gargoyles) are quite bizarre and faithful to instinct. I want to interpret the gargoyle in the video I produced as’dead for God’ to protect the church interior, and this is consistent with my intention to commemorate the soldiers who died in the sea battle. During the production process, in the process of converting to GIF, damage was inflicted on the original GIF, which unintentionally blended well with the classic feel. What I felt through this assignment is that the more traditional media such as paper paintings and stop motions are, the more it is possible for viewers to convey the creator’s intentions more easily and in a fun way.Bizarreness is the main focus in the video, but sometimes it is comical and sad. At times, it was impressive that it was also warm.
Final project – 3D animation & AR
Before Start – Story board
Before creating 3D animation, I created a storyboard to conceive the overall story. I thought dynamic and bizarre directing was important in order to produce impactful works in less time. Excessive emphasis, reversal, etc. of a specific area will make the viewer feel fun. However, excessive dynamism sometimes interferes with the overall understanding of the story, so I will apply simple emphasis, namely, changes in the size of the gargoyle face, changes in movement, etc.
Before Start – Thumbnail sketches
Thumbnail sketches are effective in giving me rough and dynamic ideas. To better express ‘exaggeration’ and ‘bizarre’, I reinterpreted Quentin Blake’s drawing style once again. Although gargoyles include bats, cows, and humans, they are mainly regarded as carnivores, so I decided to use the image of a lion, a representative of carnivores.
1. Gargoyle Sculpting
First gargoyle sculpting
Final gargoyle sculpting
To create a gargoyle animation, I need a character to use in the animation. First, I did several versions of sculpting to get familiar with Blender, and I listed the first and last designs. The development point was that at first I couldn’t make a UV square, so I couldn’t make eyes, however at the last sculpting it became possible. In addition, the drawbacks of being able to describe more delicate muscles and being able to move the eyeballs separately from the overall face were impressive.
2. Hair planting
Failed hair
Hair density
In fact, medieval and Victorian gargoyles do not have hair. Therefore, I tried to increase the fun by planting the hair on the scalp. The first attempt at planting hair was unsuccessful. The range of hair was chosen over the entire head and looked like a hedgehog. So, like making a wig, I placed a UV square inside the head and planted an hair. In the photo on the right, I can see that the color of the hair is a rainbow, which indicates the density of the hair.
3. hair trimming
Real hair isn’t as sharp as the one I made at Hair planting. I now have to shape an hair and trim it with scissors, just like going to a beauty salon (sometimes I have to apply wax). In the hair editing settings, I set the thickness, length, amount, and color of the hair. Unfortunately, however, the hair was shaved because it interfered with my laptop doing complex tasks like simulations.
4 – 1. water simulation
Water in Water in a specific space
It looks like milk
How to create a water simulation: After pressing ‘Physics Properties’, set the space where water will fall in ‘Fluid’ as Type-Domain. Change the Domain type from Gas to Liquid. After pressing Shift-A, create a UV square from the mesh. Press Flow on the UV square type. Set Flow type to smoke-Liquid and Flow behavior to Inflow. I can see small blue particles by switching the type of space where the water will fall from Modular to Replay that you set previously. The number of particles can be set in the physical setting space. Press the ‘start’ button on the and bar to see what the final result will look like. After setting the Type to Final again, ‘Mesh’ was set. After that, if I set ‘Baking all’, I can produce the final water simulation.
What is the decisive factor that differentiates gargoyle from grotesque? As I can see from reading the earlier Gargoyle Reports, they are distinguished by whether there is a drip tray or not. Usually, if there is a drip tray, it is gargoyle. Accordingly, a simulation of water emerged was produced three times.
It was created to check if water came out in the first water simulation. If I’ve created a simulation in Blender, I know, but the simulation always takes place within a specific space I set. Normally, a rectangular parallelepiped is set as a space, where the problem arises. The water that comes out once in the water simulation doesn’t run out, but instead the water fills up in a specific cuboid that I had previously set up, which looked awkward.
4 – 2. water simulation
To solve the aforementioned problem, I need to know the role of the effector of water simulation. An effector is literally an effect that makes contact with water possible. After increasing the size of the specific cube mentioned in the 4-1 water simulation, put an object with effector applied in it, and run the water simulation, you can see the water collide with the effector and bounce off!
I learned the role of water simulation and effector, but it doesn’t look like water. What is the problem? I have to go back to the ‘shading’ option and make the water transparent.
First of all, google street view helps you to take 360° photos using only a smartphone camera without special equipment that can take 360° photos. The principle of operation is to passively take pictures from different angles and directions and then integrate them into one picture. Therefore, google street view has the same role as a guide that tells which direction to take. In contrast, THETA+ helps me freely edit photos taken in google street view. Sometimes it helps to focus on a specific object by increasing the viewing angle extremely.
Before returning to the water simulation, I took 360° photos. As applications, google street view and THETA was used. These pictures look distorted when viewed on a plane, but are shown in 3D in blender shading. Cambridge’s natural scenery and gargoyles at Gonville and Caius colleges and king’s college were taken.
What I actually felt after visiting the buildings where gargoyles were placed was that the gargoyles were located above what I expected, and there will be a strong water drop. So I set the amount and speed of the water to a lot and quickly to make the water look dynamic. However, just as the hair slows down during the rendering process, the overall work speed is slowed down, reducing the water drop motion
The amount of water and the speed of dripping water have been reduced for faster working speed I made a stand to support water and applied effector. I used cycles to render in high quality
5. Texturing
The expression of texture can show the quality of the object. In the case of gargoyles, there are cases where the surface area is reduced by oxidative erosion and weathering, which maximizes reality and enhances fun. I applied some effects to the gargoyles I made, and the process of physically protruding a specific part was amazing. How to make texture: To roughen the surface of the gargoyle, press shift-A in ‘shading’ mode to open’Texture Coordinate’, then press’Noise Textile’ to connect with’Object’ of’Texture Coordinate’ and Vector of’Noise Textile’ Made it. Press shift-A again to open’Displacement’, this time connect ‘Fac’ of’Noise Textile’ to ‘Metalic’ of’Principled BSDF’, and the other is’Material Output’ created by pressing shift-A. Connected to’Displacement’. I set Surface-Displacement-Displacement and Bump to reinforce the rough surface of the gargoyle.
6. Devil sculpting & smoke making
The purpose of gargoyles is to drain water from the roof of the church when it rains, but gargoyles are also designed to protect the interior of the church from outside demons. In particular, these beliefs acted greatly in the Middle Ages, and the destruction of gargoyles was also the basis for the reason that the church was attacked by demons. Based on these stories, a demon shape was produced using sculpting, and a smoke effect was added to highlight the image. How to make a smoke simulation: If the water simulation production method is complicated and difficult, click’Object-Quick effect – Quick smoke’ in the upper left corner. After that, the size of the ‘Domain’ is increased, and the range to which the smoke is applied is increased. In order to make the acting bigger and more magnificent, I raised the number of ‘Resolution Divisions’. Before the final ‘baking all’ work, I can set the density of the smoke in’Principled Volume’ and change the color as well. After that, I can press’Baking all’ to complete the smoke simulation.
7. Screen Layout
Failed fire simulation
Since animation must be based on a story, there is a limit to compose a screen with only a physical engine. Also, due to production time and conditions, long animations cannot be produced, so the screen will be composed using only simple movements. Among the various compromises, I tried to give the gargoyles a fire when the devil approaches, but at the moment, the time editing of the physics engine was not possible. In this way, I would like to temporarily increase the size of the gargoyle’s face to threaten the devil.
8. Final light control & Cycles rendering
If I want to convert 3D work into animation, I have to go through a work called rendering. I can adopt one method of Eevee and Cycles. If I use Cycles, the rendering time is longer, but I can create animation with high quality, while using Eevee, the rendering work speed is much faster, but the quality is relatively low. It is a disadvantage. I chose Cycles as the final animation. A total of three renderings were performed, each showing the perspectives of the front, side and rear. This is to show the change in movement and size of the gargoyle and the devil that I sculpted, and also gave the effect of increasing the short video of 7 seconds to 21 seconds.
9. Video & music editing
To make the video a little more fun, I combined each of the three videos into one video using Premiere Pro, and downloaded and inserted copyright-free music from YouTube.
10. Enjoy the animation
The final animation consisted of a total of 31 seconds. The significance of this project is that it was the first to produce a short animation using blender software, and it was impressive that it was able to show a simple story. The shortcoming are that the objects I created did not move specifically, and were only able to move a simple position or size. These factors made the final animation a bit boring.
Using AR technology, I first need to select an object to use for AR. I would only choose the gargoyle, so I dragged the face, eyeballs and hose with the mouse. Then click File-Export-FBX to save the gargoyle in 3D format.
2. Sending files to Dimension
To open the saved 3D file, I used Adobe Dimension. As of now, I don’t know how to run the blender’s simulation in aero, so I only attached the sculpted gargoyles. After that, I added special effects to create the effect of splashing water on the floor. In fact, if the 3D object produced by blender is sent as dimension, the specific setting value may not be applied. ‘Water’ and’texture’ were examples, and water was re-manufactured by Dimension into a simple model.
3. Sending files to Aero
If I want to implement the 3D image I created as AR, I can use the 3D object that has been additionally set up in Dimension after installing aero in adobe on my smartphone (only iOS). First of all, space recognition is performed, and then the size, position, and inclination are changed over time by pressing the size or interaction key after placing the object, so that a kind of animation can be produced. When the aero is operated with a smartphone and a video is recorded at the same time, power consumption is large, so it was effective to minimize the movement as possible.
4. Placing objects in the real world

5. Video editing
The final AR image was implemented. The problem was taken outside, so the wind and car noises were loud, which hindered the video recording. So, I tried to remove the noise using Premire Pro (video editing software), but I recognized the narration sound as noise and only heard the wind. So, I tried to help viewers understand by inserting subtitles in the video.
6. Enjoy the AR animation
In fact, it took a lot of effort to create AR. Even if I visited the Catholic Church of our lady in person, I had to make a lot of attempts to create the perfect composition and light footage. ‘Interaction’ was implemented better than I expected. It was designed so that gargoyles could perceive it as a direct ‘effect’ in the process of interfering with my narration. In addition, the overall story was also made similar to the 3D animation I made before, so I wanted to help those who are new to understand. In fact, there have been several attempts to finish the final filming. I visited the University of Gonville and Caius and tried AR, but the geometric shape as in the Catholic church of our lady did not appear well. Also, it was not a good environment for filming because there were many people.
