Description:


    For Coca Cola’s international campaign, Digital Domain’s character animation group created a family of CG Panda bears. Directed by Ray Giarratana, with Daniel Robichaud serving as animation director, the spot features remarkably photo-real and lifelike fur created with a Mental Ray fur shader. The CG habitat was composed of bamboo trees, grasses, and a spring created in Softimage.
