🚨 NERD ALERT!! 🚨 In the March update, Pete shared that we now have 3D models for the four main characters. In this video, Pete chats with two of the 3D artists (both, coincidentally, Undergrads fans) about their process of turning a 2D character design into a 3D model. IMPORTANT NOTE: While the movie needs to utilize 3D animation due to budget restraints, the final product will look like 2D animation.
