PERANCANGAN 3D MODEL ASSET PADA FILM PENDEK ANIMASI 3D "LENS OF DIARY" UNTUK MEWUJUDKAN KONSISTENSI VISUAL PADA ERA 1980’AN

This thesis presents the design and creation of 3D modelling assets for the short
animation film “Lens of Diary,” which is set in 1980s Jakarta. The research adopts
a practice-led approach, employing three primary instruments: a literature review
of visual references and cinematography theories from the 1980s, in-depth
interviews with industry practitioners in 3D modelling, and an audience
questionnaire to evaluate perceptions of authenticity and visual consistency. The
production pipeline was structured modularly, beginning with a low-poly blockout,
followed by edge loop insertion and beveling to refine form, high-poly sculpting,
retopology, UV unwrapping, baking and texturing, material assignment, and
concluding with quality testing and iterative refinement. Interview findings
underscore the importance of detailed blueprints and modular iteration to balance
historical accuracy with production efficiency. Questionnaire data collected via a
Likert scale indicate that audience satisfaction with the film’s retro atmosphere and
architectural details averages 74 %. The results demonstrate that a structured
polygonal modelling workflow, supported by historical research and iterative
feedback, can produce 3D assets that are consistent, authentic, and viable for
academic‐level production.

Tugas akhir ini memaparkan perancangan dan pembuatan asset 3D modelling untuk
film pendek animasi “Lens of Diary” yang berlatar Jakarta pada dekade 1980-an.
Penelitian ini mengadopsi pendekatan practice-led research dengan tiga instrumen
utama: studi literatur terhadap referensi visual dan teori sinematografi era 1980-an,
wawancara mendalam dengan praktisi industri 3D modelling, serta kuesioner
audiens untuk mengevaluasi persepsi keautentikan dan konsistensi visual. Pipeline
produksi dirancang secara modular, dimulai dari blockout low-poly, penambahan
edge loops dan beveling untuk mempertegas bentuk, sculpting high-poly,
retopologi, UV unwrapping, baking dan texturing, penugasan material, hingga
pengujian kualitas dan iterasi. Temuan wawancara menegaskan pentingnya
blueprint terperinci dan iterasi modular dalam menyeimbangkan akurasi historis
dengan efisiensi produksi. Data kuesioner skala Likert menunjukkan tingkat
kepuasan penonton terhadap nuansa retro dan detail arsitektur era 1980-an
mencapai rata-rata 74 %. Hasil akhir membuktikan bahwa workflow polygonal
modelling yang terstruktur, didukung riset historis dan umpan balik iteratif, mampu
menghasilkan asset 3D yang konsisten, otentik, dan layak implementasi pada
produksi akademik.
Kata Kunci: modelling 3D, workflow modular, autentisitas visual, Jakarta 1980-
an, iterasi blueprint, digital asset management.
