- Framestore CFC
Description:
This spot for an employment web site features 24 3D shots involving a photo-real stork, complete with feathers and dynamics. The challenge for the CG team was to create photo-real feathers from scratch in an eight-week period for a range of shots from wides to close-ups and complete a large number of animations of realistic, convincing bird movements. The work was created in Houdini and Maya(for the animation). Rendering was in RenderMan, with proprietary feather-generation plug-ins.
