The Beauty tells a story of a girl who tries to assassinate the King of the Qin dynasty, animated in the meticulous style of ancient Chinese painting.The Beauty uses Maya as the major software for the whole production. As 3D software, Maya is always deemed to be weak and hard to handle in demonstrating 2D rendering as well as meticulous painting rendering. For The Beauty, the production team explored Maya’s potential and possibility in representing old Chinese-style painting and murals, including delicate and aesthetic characters, magnificent and majestic palace scenes, thousands of soldiers fighting in a battlefield full of smoke and fire, and dances with long lowing silk inner sleeves.
