Bobby Bring Dragon to Life For GIFF
Posted in: Industry News[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/dragon_thumb.jpg”]24976[/NEWS]Swedish digital production company Bobby created an incredible piece of animation for the 2010 Göteborg International Film Festival at the start of the year. ‘Dragon’ is a special short produced as an intro and played before each and every film screened at the festival. After a total of approximately 800 plays, it received a great deal of attention and was appreciated by the GIFF crowds.
Dragon is a collaboration between Bobby and festivals agency SCP. The idea grew from the GIFF logo which is a full grown dragon, and was inspired by the 1960’s foetus photos created by the Swedish photographer Lennart Nilsson.
“In the beginning of the film we wanted to get a nice underwater feeling, with anemones and corals. When we first get a glimpse of the foetus the feeling should be that it is a human and the surprise comes when we show the wings and the whole dragon” explained Bobby animator Richard Blank.
The first challenge was to design the dragon foetus within its surroundings and the Bobby team used different animal foetuses, including crocodiles and birds, for reference.
It was essential that the foetus appeared believable and not plastic or artificial, so the animators worked hard to create a sound sub surface scattering, whilst keeping the render time down. Depth of field was also important to ensure a macro feeling to the piece.
Z-Brush and 3ds Max were used for modelling, all animation was created in Maya; rendering was produced using V-Ray, compositing with Nuke.

WS vs mac pro
Posted in: Hardware & Tech TalkHi everybody, I’m pretty near to buy my new WS and everything was clear of what I had to buy, but…
Lots of people in the 3D and video comping world use mac.
I was thinking some epecs like this:
DELL 7500 2x Xeon 5540, 2xSAS HDD, quadro 3800 (or GTX 285), 12gb RAM. It costs about 4000euros.
Then, my doubts are:
Do I have to think about buying a Mac pro intead of a WS (dell for ex.)
I use 3D Max, Nuke, AFX, photoshop…
Thanks a lot.
