Description:
“The Life of Mammals” presents a fascinating and complete insight into an incredible group of animals. 422 Ltd produced the content graphics for the vastproject, allowing the viewer to witness amazing scenes that would be otherwise impossible to film.The animated sequences were created using Maya 3.0. The aim was to produce subtle, realistic visuals that were unobtrusive yet had a definite stylistic quality.The Dinohyus (pictured above) is a reconstruction of a mammal that is now extinct. It was brought to life in Avid Illusion where the 3D was assembled with live action elements. The result was a perfect illustrative accompaniment toDavid Attenborough’s explanation of Dinohyus’ movement and behaviour.
