3D character creation for Enviaflores.com
Industry: Online flowers & gifts shop, e-commerce
The opportunity
For one of the biggest Mexican e-commerce companies (EnviaFlores.com) we created at CYO their 3D main character: Florentino. We were asked to develop a realistic teddy bear that will become an icon for the brand. First it will be introduced into the market through spectacular ads all around Mexico, public buses, social media, and directly through their website. After that, the real-life bear would be sold as part of their catalogue. And among other scalable uses, the female character (his partner) would be asked to be developed.
