Eva Munnich works as a 3D artist - The CreativeMindClass Blog
Eva Munnich, an animator and illustrator who lives in London. Being a visual artist she designs cute characters in 3D and 2D. She was a film student at art school in Germany as well as worked on various animation-related projects. After a lack of a fresh challenge, Eva actively sought new methods to expand her wings. Three decades ago she traveled to London to discover its vibrant, vibrant art scene, and decided to go into the realm of character and illustration.
Below , you'll learn about the way Eva turned around her creative route and find out more about her unique X-Files animation project in which was co-created by her and Phil Brookes.
Seeking out new challenges and setting the course of your career
Prior to moving from London in 2017, I lived in a tiny town in Germany and worked freelance briefly in the role of an After Effects animator. There weren't too many obstacles in my work, my skills slowed rapidly and I became extremely unhappy.
Moving to London and getting acquainted with everyone who is a wonderful animator around me was a major boost for me. I felt like: "Damn, I'm running alongside cool kids at the moment. I need to crank up my abilities. "
Following my visit to at the 2019 Pictoplasma Conference, I decided to become part of that universe of odd creative creators of characters. It was clear quick that the characters I created perform optimally when they're 3D which is something I'm still learning and that's difficult, but extremely fun!
My work has caught the attention of Greenhouse Animation, which is now acting as my director through Greenhouse Animation.
In relation to the X-Files project as well as the mystery of socks disappearing
One of my first projects for clients I developed with my brand new design was the Covered by Lemonade clip.

Lemonade Insurance approached me to make a work to be used in their weekly Instagram artwork collaboration. The firm is a content insurance company, and the concept of adorable household items in trouble immediately occurred to me. This is the way that the X-Files idea was born.
I was on the winter lockdown, watching the x-files. Thus, the possibility of an alien abduction in the traditional sort seemed like an obvious idea. The problem was that all characters had to remain in the same location to be in the same place to stop the animation loop to ensure that nobody actually got taken away - that's when I had an idea of opening the washing machine up and the single pink sock start flying towards the UFO.
As I made the UFO in addition to providing it with small legs, I realized that all the pieces could be assembled. The UFO has lost its socks and is now regaining it!
The way I see it, creating an engaging story is best accomplished by the blending of things that look disconnected at first. Unplanned events taking place and also to give inanimate objects a personality by sticking silly faces on their surfaces is my favorite part!
The workflow for animation
My process begins with drawing sketches of my characters as well as an outline of the story. I created an animated version of Lemonade in order to explain the concept and also the timing. After that, I jump into Cinema 4D and model all my characters. This is also where I experiment with techniques and design frames.
When the animation created within Cinema 4D is done, I move to After effects for compositing and the finalization. The pink light beam as an example, was created with After Effects.

The sound effects, as well as the collaboration with Phill Brookes
This was my first project I worked on with sound engineer, Philip Brookes and he brought it to the higher level! His contribution elevates the clip to a new level and can make everything work perfect! It was an incredible task to complete, and I hope to create more of this one!
We've had a conversation with Phil about his process for producing sound effects to be used for the X-Files project. Check out the interview conducted by the Phil Brookes.
In the present I'm working on learning new techniques for character rigging , and making beautiful textures with Cinema 4D and Redshift. I'm trying out the combination of 2D with 3D animation and am excited to see the direction the character designs I'm creating is going to take into the near future!
Visual artists may get advice to change careers
A few suggestions for those who are looking to change directions:
- Find which technique suits your thoughts best, and then make the effort to master the technique! Motion design might seem like you're expected to be able to master every aspect of motion design. It's not possible.
- It is important to take your oddity seriously , and don't minimize the importance of it. Your peculiarity is distinctive. Your voice, style and your creativity are distinctive.
- Be patient and accept your thoughts. Whatever is going on within your head, take it on board before you create your personal!
