Finally, the pictures you've
sent are very attractive, especially the rollover
image at the top of the story and the furry creatures.
What are they going to be used for?
"Warriors of the Apocalypse"
is an animation feature film arriving to theatres
this year. The LightWave team is made up from
freelancers working independently in our own personal
studios. Our contribution to the film is not very
big, around 90 animation shots, including space
sequences, establishing shots depicting a city
named "Libera" early in the movie, and some other
shots near the climactic ending.
Our assignments have
been mainly to model, texture and animate the
space scenery, also the city (Libera), space fighters
and its animation, including visual effects such
as explosions and related effects. The final film
format is 2:35 anamorphic (1828 x 1556 / Pixel
Aspect 2.0), and I must say, after seeing some
early screenings, LightWave behaves pretty well
in film.
"Between Air and Water"
was a six-chapter documentary series produced
back in 2001. It explained marine mammals' evolution
from their earthly origins. As there are almost
no fossil evidences from them, they were created
in 3D by studying several scientific documents.
My job was that of modelling all these animals,
while other colleagues did all the textures and
the animation, using LightWave and Maya. I also
created a short space scene as introduction to
the series, showing the massive extinction that
took place 65 million year ago when a huge asteroid
hit the Yucatan area. Finally, I also edited the
main titles, the trailer and the teaser, using
Aura.
