The Diary of a Mountain Tree

“The Diary of a Mountain Tree” is an animation inspired by illegal logging driven by the weak law enforcement and a lack of awareness and empathy. This animation aimed to raise awareness in society about the importance of forest conservation and hopes to inspire a sense of love for our forest and to do our best to protect it from any threat.

The animation was built using Autodesk 3ds Max, specifically utilising a low poly animation style, which involves 3D models with a low number of polygons. During the animation process, several techniques were applied, such as camera placement and music selection, to ensure the animation was engaging.

This project is a collective effort by students and a lecturer from the School of Mathematical Sciences at Universiti Sains Malaysia. They believe that trees play an essential role in sustaining nature, including all living things that depend on it as well as preserving the health of the planet.
