The only difference here is that the students were tasked with creating never-before-seen humanoid creatures. The final category, hybrid, merges humans and animals to reflect mythical creatures like centaurs, werewolves or bigfoot.

Professor Johnathan Bryson explained this using the following comparison: “Where lions and cheetah cull the herds of Africa, maybe your creature culls the herds of pencil shavings under your desks or scavenges eggshells from the trash bins.” Niche pieces are of unique creatures that fill a role in the natural world that is often overlooked. Works in the Cambrian format use reference material from species that went extinct during the Cambrian period to create models of these species or something new modeled after them. The works fall into three categories: Cambrian, niche and hybrid. In this course, students engage with digital sculpting software, Zbrush and have their works printed using the 3D printers in the Dana G. The artworks on display are from the past three semesters of the Advanced 3D Animation course.
