PRODUCTION
Modeling: polygons. Rendering technique used most: Mental Ray And final gathering, no HDRI. Some sets were rendered in bigger size and camera mapped to earn time in heavy sequences. Average CPUtime for rendering per frame: approximately 15 minutes, some up to30 minutes. Total production time: one year, plus approximately three months pre production. Production highlight: There were four direc-tors on the movie. We wrote the story and the storyboard together.Everybody did some modeling on the set, but then everybody did what he does best. Three guys were on the animation, character modeling, and skinning, and one guy was on the rendering and lighting. Maya scripts were written to make some set animation better.
