Modelled, animated and lit in XSI, this project was our first using Arnold. We love it.

Studio AKA created this set of animations to shine a light on BBC Radio 4’s cultural offerings
Award-winning London-based animation studio Studio AKA was recently commissioned through the BBC, Red Bee Media and communications agency Karmarama to create this series of animations. Responsible for the entire production, the Studio AKA team started working its magic in Softimage and After Effects. “The most important module within Softimage was ICE,” explains Softimage generalist Cristobal Infante. “We also used Mootzoid’s emTools compounds extensively for this job. ICE helped us to keep the elements and effects as flexible as possible throughout production.”
Using efficient techniques and tools within the chosen software, each animation was told visually via the process of morphing sequences that utilise clever transitions to move seamlessly from one scene to another. “We took full advantage of reference models within Softimage,” says Infante. “We broke the job down into sections but kept rendering centralised, all this can done by setting the deltas correctly on the referenced models. Our pipeline, built with Python and PyQt, allowed us to keep track of all the shots: this really helped us get through production smoothly.”
