April 2nd, 2010

The animated short “Catwalk – Black Cat Crossing” has been shipped on DVD in the CHIP magzine Jan 2010. There was a special HD article and they needed some indie films to illustrate the HD world.

Since this news are’t up to date there will be another CHIP HD special in May. The Catwalk film will be on this DVD as well.

Mafia main character design

April 2nd, 2010

This is the main character development for Giuseppe Grosso from the animated short Mafia.

He is a gentle, goofy like character. Deep in his heart he isn’t an evil mafiosi. So it is hard for him to kill a the guy in the story and vanish his body.

I created 20 versions of Giuseppe to research what people do like the most on this character and which is the most lough catcher. At the end I’ll shuffle them to get the super (goofy) hero.

This is just another stereo test but this time with two cameras rendered in Mental Ray.

Catwalk stereoscopic fake

March 27th, 2010

This was a short test in Nuke to fake a Anaglyph view via the Pulfrich effect. I created a time offset for the right eye by two frames to fake the perspective for that eye. I will post real stereo frames in near future.

I finnished the first scene. Here is an example how I organized the renderpasses for composeting. I only used a beauty, occlusion pass, motion vectors  and a lot of masks.

February 12th, 2010

This is an old character design from 2007. I tired to creat a small girl who never takes her costume off.
