CrowdFX win

The crowd setup was created in Softimage's ICE with user control in mind. Using this software made it easy to place the actors and select which ones would sit, stand, wave, squat, check their watches or any other action the team designated.

Because some shots had upwards of 12 cars and 7,200 CG actors, Dates and his team needed to find an efficient way to render the largely populated shots. "In order to optimize render time, we used Mental Ray proxy stand-ins, which 'baked' out each of the CG actors ahead of time," Dates says. "This offloaded a lot of the computing time needed during the 'translate' process. With stand-ins, we were seeing render-times down from 50 minutes to 5 minutes per frame!" The stand-ins were then applied to the shot with all the controls, allowing for fast feedback for the user.

The lighting was handled traditionally, using Mental Ray with Final Gathering. The reduction in render time allowed the team to re-render iterations and tweak animation and lighting at will, and also gave the team more time to spend on perfecting the details and nuances that bring this 'Train' to life.

CGWorld Japan has some of the best ICE tutorials around. Unfortunately we don't have access to them in English.

I liked specially the last one:
