Produksi Video Animasi 3D “Mood Dulu” Dengan Penerapan Metode Toon Shader

Abstract

Abstract Final year students often experience a lack of motivation, mental fatigue, and a tendency to
procrastinate on academic tasks under the pretext of waiting for the right mood. This situation results in delays
in completing their education and increases academic pressure. Therefore, it is crucial to have media that
conveys motivational messages that are relevant, simple, and closely related to students’ real experiences. 3D
animation is chosen because of its ability to deliver messages through visual and narrative approaches,
particularly using a non-realistic style that is more expressive.
This research aims to create a 3D animated video entitled “Mood Dulu” using the toon shader method as a
motivational tool for final-year students. The animation is designed to reflect procrastination habits in a light
and relatable manner, through 2D-styled visuals and a non-preachy narrative, so that the motivational
message can be well received.
The approach used in this research involves observation and animation development. Observations are
conducted on visual references, narrative elements, and the social conditions of final-year students. The
development process includes analysis, concept design, asset creation and animation using Blender,
application of the toon shader method, as well as rendering and testing stages.
The result of this research is a toon-shader-style 3D animated video that demonstrates how a non
photorealistic visual approach can be effectively used to convey motivational messages. The animation “Mood
Dulu” is expected to provide positive encouragement and serve as a model for the development of 2D styled
3D animation in education and digital media.
