Rabbit's Birthday

This 3d animation was designed as an introduction to "Rabbit's Birthday" the game. Katrina, Matt, Sam, Cam and I worked on this project for 3rd year Bachelor of Design at Swinburne. I was the team manager for the project and focused mostly on the 3d animation. I worked on modeling, texturing, uvs, rigging, blendshapes, lighting, rendering, sound and editing. Everybody worked in their area of expertise but crossed over to others when they were needed.


Rabbit's Birthday gives autistic children a better understanding of how schedules and the Picture Exchange Communication System can be used in real-world situations. The social script of a birthday party forms the basis for the narrative and game play. Fox is invited to Rabbit's birthday party and experiences several events that are likely to happen at a typical birthday party. The aim is to help the child understand how schedules can be used to reduce anxiety and help them cope with change. The game reinforces the following keywords that can be used as a tool by parents and teachers for encouraging positive behaviours in real life situations; 'play' and 'special activity'.
