$ cat about.md
This Bachelor's thesis project explores the technical challenges and artistic possibilities of recreating classic hand-drawn cartoon animations in a 3D environment. Using Unity's programmable render pipeline and custom HLSL shaders, the project demonstrates innovative approaches to maintaining the distinctive visual style of traditional 2D animation while leveraging the advantages of 3D rendering. The work includes detailed analysis of animation principles, shader development, and render pipeline customization to achieve authentic cartoon aesthetics in three-dimensional space.
