“In the Realm of the Senses of the Minefield” is the graduation project of the author. The main character, Minefield, carries the responsibility of guarding the soil and brings judgment to intruders with a scale on its shoulder. Until the day when an innocent calf runs into the area and detonates the landmine, the once insensitive Lei Chu(“Minefield”)suddenly is awaken, and then gradually realizes many lives have been butchered due to his

fatal nature. Finally, he tries to rust his body with his own tears in order to terminate his capabilities.

This essay mainly discusses that landmine has no way of recognizing enemies or friends and differentiating situations; thus, it brings threat to all living beings. When humans develop weapons and act on warfare, they ignore their duty to all living creatures and lose the senses to the hardship suffered by mankind and ecological deterioration. Losing sensitivity and rationality yet get the entire mankind involve in the quagmire of warfare.

A purpose of this 3D animation is to experiment with the possibility of high-polygon model in a personal project. Animations are created by using digital sculpt to manufacture a model with a million facets, and displacement map or normal map to retain details of high-polygon model in low-polygon model. Relevant details of creating this animation are stated in the discussion section of this essay.
