- CGI 3D Animated Planet Unknown Short Film by Shawn Wang. Featured on www.cgmeetup.net/home/planet-u...
At the end of the 21st century mankind were facing global resource depletion. Space Rovers were sent out to find potential inhabitable planets.
Planet Unknown is a passion project from director Shawn Wang. Animated over eleven months it was the final project for Shawn’s course at the Communication University of China. The attention to detail is exceptional with jaw dropping renders. Both the pace of the film and the use of shots is impeccable.
Planet Unknown recently won Best Animated Short at the Burbank International Film Festival.
Software's: Cinema 4D, plugin TurbulenceFD and Octane for C4D were heavily used for most of the tasks. Houdini was used to fracture things. Then Zbrush for sculpting, Mari for texturing, After Effects for compositing, and Premiere for editing. Python and JavaScript were used for scripting in C4D, Mari and AE, which helped speed up the process a lot.
It took around 4 months to build the 3D assets. Then Shawn moved on to animatic previews. Each individual shot got more clear and problems to solve became more specific. Then the rest of the time were mainly focused on building scenes, keyframe animation, FX simulation, rendering and compositing.
Director biography: Shawn Wang is an animation director and 3D artist. Having a passion for CGI and storytelling, Shawn loves creating narrative visuals through all types of media.

FINALLY a CGI where the things I get attached to Don’t die i love it
Seen this one numerous times, and I still LOVE it. Kind of makes you want to see a sequel.
I've never been so concerned for the well-being of two imaginary robots.
Wall-E and eve:
same
ikr
Outstanding!! The theme may be a familiar story, but the look, the action, the scenery are all really well done. Did you notice the robots get a little grungier with each misadventure? Cool touch. I love the sound effects, and the theme music is well-chosen. Great work.
I love how you can pretty much convey an entire feature length film in under 10 minutes, that was awesome! :)
I like this
This is like if Wall-E and the portal 2 co-op bots made a baby.
Amen.
OMG YES XD
TheMarkipShow fak you
I'm a fan of portal 2
but the game is already failing
like to get the game fixed
And That baby hooked up with the pixar lamp and had a baby
Stunning textures and aging on the machines. Their details on their speed-runs was equally amazing. With this level of talent, reality has a tough act to follow!
Very cute little short, and the detail work is just incredible! Wish it was longer though..which is always a good sign it has caught ones interest.
That one showed really brilliant attention to detail, nice awareness of inertia, good sense of high-definition reality. Very easy to believe. Good show!
That ending made me cry a bit. The music did it. FANTASTIC mood set by that atmosphere. Great work!!
This reminds me so much of Wall-E! My childhood memories are flooding back!❤️❤️❤️
You must not be very old lol
@@jjhack3rWhat's wrong with not being very old?
What a great twist at the end. Earth looks a little different to how I remember it :)
These people are so good at making animations
They don’t make the animations they just publish them
Wall-e 2 is looking promising.
Psychotic Muffin Yush Muffin you are correct :D
I can't believe that this was posted 6 years ago. Easily the best animated short I've watched to date. Bravo!
They have gotta make a sequel, preferably with lots of new space rovers.
I came down to the comments expecting to see the words ' WALL-E'. It did not disappoint.
Stephen M same
That make me third then
Me too, this is wall e
😂😂🤣 same
Jajaja me too
I am so impressed by the fact that even though this was created by someone who probably does not speak my language (and I don't speak theirs), the ideas are easily understood. Wow.
ي عمو اعمل لي سبكسكرايب في قناتي 🤗
i loved the video especially the design of the robots they actually look like something that could be built in real life
Wow its been 5 or 6 years since i used watch your cg videos. Loved yor videos❤️
Cool, very nice job, I would like to see some continue :)
Watch Wall-E then
Mari B. Assowiekesiesiiswowow
Bravo Kilo Same this was a nearley story of Wall-e.
Mari B. I agree
Hehe, dude, that brown rover looks like he could be a One-eyed Wall-E!
ye :3
Wall-e Prototype
I too thought he looked like Wall-E
one eyes willy
pug head yes
Definitely deserve a movie!
This is the best thing I saw on UA-cam 😘😘😘😘
That Moon in the end, neat!)
Beautiful riveting story which kinda binds you in. Physics in animation was flawless. I think the reason I like this was because the mechanic robots shown some human qualities. I would love to watch a full time movie. Keep up the good work
Whoever made this is good enough to make tv shows or movies
I’d love to see a part two to this!
I LOVED THIS! please make this into a series! i want a remote controld toy of these guys!
How old are you?
Can you sub me please he likely just finds the concept interesting.
stranger planet with cuties machines
HiHiHaHa
@obvious A.l LOL
w a l l - e
wow wow wow so happy Shawn Wang exists --- !!! Never stop doing what you do !

Ubugomebwayuda
@@ndorimanajanvier6720 oookaaaay. . . :)
a cute orange robot with a plant... Wall E much?
I thought the same! :D
Lostsoul45cal lol
Maybe wall-e cousin? XD
Maybe
Lostsoul45cal your future wall-E #Merv
Wall-E 2 looks amazing
In my opinion this should be a award winning animation
Plasticity and grace in movements fascinated!
"My battery is getting low and is getting dark " - Mars robot
Nobody:
Majority of people in the comment section: *Wall-E confirmed*
rip-off???🤔🤔🤔
@@zimvgiguolivich1937 maybe very inspired
says the dude with a wall-e profile pic
@@Bruhmoment-nd8cq that doesn't mean I think Johnny 5 is Wall-E, smh
Like SHORT CIRCUIT CAME OUT BEFORE WALL-E 😭
@@petuniaclaragarryzera I agree. Inspired by it.
this whole thing, made by one freaking person! wow!
Loved it...I've never been so glad to see a green shoot before !
I want to see "planet unknown 2" :v
This is amongst the best emotional animation you'll see in YT....sound track is fantastic with a great story line. When that little green shoot shows up on the first Mars expedition, humanity is saved!!
buaaahhaha
Oh look! Its my Favorite movie coming back to life!
Earth re-evolved - love it.
this is just like wall E
sounds
movement
personality
intensity
story type
QQQWEASSDFR
hi
Then its the next wall-E
Wall-F
Love the two little Rovers.
Amazing short film, any chance for a full length one ;)
The sad part of this story is that the moon is waay too close to the planet, and will eventually collide with it due to gravity. So good job, robots, you lured mankind to their second demise ^^
Yeah, but in real life The moon is actually moving away from earth at a average speed of one inch per year.
Finally, one of these has context.
Wall-E wants to know your location
Exactly what I thought as soon as I saw the thumbnail.
rip-off???🤔🤔🤔
Zimvgig Uolivich far from it
GIVE ME THE PLANT.
Phoniex 🤣
“HOPE” of finding a life is such an amazing thing 😊
Scénario simple, mais ne réalisation magnifique, les textures et animations géniales !
this animation is FILLED with DEJAVU drifting
Mesmo sendo animação isso mostra que o trabalho em equipe tem seu valor
Oh shit, this is in my opinion one of the BEST films in this channel.
You did a really good job, I love It 😅
That moosik in the beginning is amazing
That was EPIC!!!!!!!!! It should be put on the BigScreens!
Como quiciera que hubiera una película de eso ... Seria un éxito y tienen todo el potencial para hacerlo
ya existe wally
Planet Unknown battle grounds
No
Yes
Red zone?
NO
where its 100 planets enter only one planet gets the winner winner astroid dinner
Positive, natural. Details... like it. Would like to see more. It worths to make a big story from it.
A Shawn Wang cannot be unseen.
Eu sou apaixonado pelas suas animações ❤
Guys i actually slow clapped for this one. Really well done Shawn Wang.
Bravo! Bravo! **applause** Wonderfully made! Bravo!
Excellent animation, great soundtrack and sfx and a quaint short story.
This reminds me of someone who past away a few days ago....rest in peace MR Opportunity.
3:30 Whats the Weather today? -Sunny with Meteor showers ever 30 sec. like always.
I love this short films. Great job.well made 👍
that meteor storm was crazier than Missile Command!!
Most robots seem to be the wall-E design and sound and attitude.
"What is my purpose?"
"To plant seeds"
"Oh my God"
this should be award winning
Excellent sound work on this, score and sound design is top notch.
The ending didn't really matter cause who would want to live on a planet constantly being hit by asteroids lol
the asteroids brought live to that planet :)
life*
The meteorites bring you free resources.
If you can get that far anyhow, I'm sure that an asteroid defense system would have been thought of long in advance
Everybody would want to live in a world with unlimitited shooting stars to make wishes upon.
Love these beautiful animations!
The opening is beautiful! When i see that orange bot, evah! 🤖😂
I was impressed by the wonderful story.
This was really good to look at and a very fine story it brought a smile from me. thanks
Stuff like this needs to be in 4k!!!
And why the heck would you want to plant a seed there when meteorites hit every 30 seconds?!
its very unlikely from scientific PoV for a solid planet to have such meteor belt unless it was recent (under 50-100 years) catastrophe..large bodies naturally get rid of such belts . Uranus and alike do not count, first that's ice belt consisting from very thin powder, second, being 8 times larger than earth, it got same gravity force, because whole planet is "made" of ammonia snow
+EllAntares You're exactly right. During the video I had actually guessed the planet was in the very early stages of becoming a life bearing one. Being that (This is still a theory, but generally the most accepted) Earth is generally theorized as to have gained water from a relentless shower of asteroids, in which at the end of the video it could be noted that there's steam rising from the debris and clouds forming. That's probably the best way to explain the asteroid belt around the planet. Though, I'd be significantly more concerned about how close / large the moon is and the likely scenario that planet becomes a tidal one. (An ocean planet with extreme water fluctuations, I.E tidal waves ripping the surface to shreds every few minutes. As far as my definition on the matter goes.)
awww stfu...
builder6039 tffffffghjff
A bit late, but despite the constant tidal surges, life would be sustainable on the poles (Assuming the moon as an equatorial orbit) as the surges would be unlikely to reach it.
I love how cute those robots are
Great. That was hard core. Very emotion provoking. Happy ending which I loved the most. And the sond was the best I've seen in any short videos to date. I produce sound, and couldn't come close to this.
A new planet to live on? Hope they have an accurate weather forecaster. You see the size of those raindrops?
you did see the moon at the end, right?
Ba dum tsss
Excellent animation Very good
WALL-E and Eve had kids 😉
A brilliant animation indeed .
This was amazing!
Its like Wall.E
Finally, a short with an ending!👍
Such expression on a faceless robot wow
Thumbs up
The clouds were gorgeous
Spoiler:
- whole world tech development started with a single bean
- in the future, inter-robotical couples will be a normal thing
👍✨
As long as its like WallE , " Im loving it"
Normally cgi animations end out sad but this one is really good
I am so amazed by this video. Models of these would be really awesome to have
In the top 10 list of best ever!!
Allan Stark cool
The intro music sounds like a combination of the PUBG theme and the Universal theme
Shawn Wang, my man! Cheers bud!
Animation? It looks all real, indeed. Congratulations!
Did anyone else think “this should be a game”
Ya actually, I did
Contact the animators and suggest it, I heartily agree.
I do
a movie beter
yes
Pixar would like to purchase this for 8-billion dollars
That 'unknown planet' is pretty much the young Earth.
The Moon has already been formed by this time and our young planet was being bombarded for some time, most likely bringing life/water with it. That 'moon' will be vital in the planets seasons and currents in its oceans some day.
So the process of what happened here on Earth repeats. Except this time we wont have to wait millions and millions of years for life to evolve. Pretty cool ^_^
Nice,, machine for life ♥★
