Amber – 3D animation
Overview
AMBER - Inspire B3 Pro is a 3D animated short film created as a group project at Howest Digital Arts & Entertainment in 2024.
The project presents a fictional high-end technology company introducing the Inspire B3 Pro: a robotic bee designed to support natural pollination.
