Tohoku Zunko 3D Anime Project Updates

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the Tohoku Zunko 3D anime project. However, the GREEN FUNDING page was kind enough to give us a progress report on how the anime characters are coming along!

  • Character illustrations: Complete!
  • 3D modeling: under fine-tuning
  • Motion animations: about 1/3 complete
  • Facial expressions: not yet started

So as you can see, they are still a ways off from completion of the character models. But we at VocaSphere would rather see the team take their time creating a truly enjoyable product, as opposed to rushing through it, so our hats off to them!

Stay tuned for more updates to the Tohoku Zunko 3D anime project as they are announced. If this is your first time hearing about the project, then catch up on our previous posts below!
