Character bust

Part 3. This one was to show the treatment of the facial features and expressions.

This animation was a great opportunity to extend the 3d department's use of particle and procedural animation techniques. Titled Impermanence, the animation plays with the ever changing nature of reality, so particles and procedurals were a natural fit. The music is J. S. Bach's timeless piece Sinfonia.

Climate Change

Low Poly designs for a climate change concept.

3D Character Experiment

We've been having a look at some of the open source character rigs available online for Maya. Here's a little test we made using the Andy Rig.

Fishies

The 3d boys are quite the experts at creating realistic fish after their latest job. Here's a quick look at what went into them, including the very complicated shading network.

Dugong Compositing breakdown

It is rare that you get to see the all the work that goes into the final product of what we do. This example is from a recent job we did, which combines live action with a realistic 3d Dugong. You can see the various stages in compositing which Joel (our in house Flame artist) crafted together with plates from the 3d department.

Creation Bee - Updated

We updated bee animation so you could see his side and added some pollen particles on that interact with the bee and his movements. We also did some more work to the grade, and gave it a bit more time.
Hope you enjoy the update.

A cool little in house animation we have been working on. We set ourselves the challenge of creating a photorealistic bee in an architectural environment. It all came together through studying the way bees move, their textures and finally some sweet character animation by Shaun.

Gruen Planet

Some of the stages of the build of a 3d futuristic environment, for a pitch on Gruen Planet. It was fun to set our minds to the possibilities of futuristic environments and what they would look like, even with a sinister motive.

Plankton

This spot highlights the Engine 3d department's ability to produce cool other worldly photo-real style work. The animation takes you to the microscopic dimensions of a never filmed crab larvae, enabling you to appreciate it's alien beauty.

Arvo Beer - You Spoke We Brewed You Decide

Phase two of the Perfect Lager Project saw the introduction of two lagers 34 and 51. After gathering all the data about the perfect lager moment, the brewers set to work and produced these two brews. Phase 2 helped us find out more about the characteristics of each brew and asked us to make our decision as to which one should stay.
