I generally dislike “quoting in full”, but for this post by Arvid Björn on the Mailing List I think it’s best to make an exception.

Sadly I haven't found a way to embed the app.frame.io llnks yet.

Hi guys, just wanted to show a couple of shots we did for the Swedish tv
series "Jordskott." We did all the 342 vfx shots for all 10 episodes, all
cg in Softimage, rendered in Redshift, Houdini for smoke sim and Nuke for
comp.


Here's some of the more interesting ones I think (excuse the compression):

Full cg env and destruction. Redshift+ICE instance scattering achieved the
level of detail, comped using deep data to combine Redshift and Mantra
smoke renders. RS frame time was about 20 minutes on this, which is the
highest I've ever reached with Redshift I think.

Here's a bunch of cg ravens rigged and animated in Softimage, rendered in
Redshift.

This is a face wound-type thing in a dream sequence, Soft+Redshift
https://app.frame.io/f/e7740833-7faa-4e ... be2f75f3b0

All the underwater environments in this sequence is full cg combined with
some green screen uw-plates of the actress. The "entity" is made with a bit
of ICE strand magic. Soft+Redshift, RS really has awesome volumetrics btw.
https://app.frame.io/f/680ec84a-573d-4e ... 68a0c3ad3a (with sound,
without grade)

And about 300 other shots.. =)

We worked for ~8 months with a core team of 3 artists including myself, and
a few more for shorter periods. I also supervised the vfx on the show,
which was a true pleasure! Can't imagine a better tool for the job than
Soft and RS, it's quite remarkable how well they work together, it's all
rendered on cheap GTX780's as well.

So Softimage is alive and well over here at least! The Maya licenses
doesn't even work as a door stop, not sure why we keep them around really.

We'll do a proper reel for the whole season soonish, hope you like it!

Cheers

Another one from me, and another bunch of people of-course ;-)

Done at Darlings Postproduction Amsterdam, the latest Asics tennis commercial with Gael Monfils:



All the hard (3D) work is at the end, for the Nuke guys it was adding all those (extra) 2D/3D tennis-balls, cleaning backgrounds, removing wires etc. etc.

Enjoy!

The Art Style of Guilty Gear Xrd

A nice presentation at GDC 2015 using Softimage to say the least. The reply to one of the questions at the end says a lot about the strength and stability of our favorite 3DC, thanks to the Non linear , non destructive workflow.

... my other question is weather there are some key features in XSI that you could only do in XSI with this game ?

I wouldn't want to do it in any other software, that is simply because you can just go back to any state, and continue fiddling with the model without redoing the skins, or redoing the UVs... it just keeps there and you can keep working on it to the last minute...

The Embassy latest work on Disney Playmation

https://vimeo.com/groups/vfx/videos/131935624

Sadly this was the Embassy last full project in Softimage and Arnold. They have moved over to a mixed alembic pipeline of Maya for animation and any manual scene construction and Houdini/Arnold/Mantra for everything else.

Polynoid in Berlin: "The brief we got from Team One was about telling the story of a generic car that's being injected with a blue liquid by robots which then changes the DNA of the car, transforming it into a racing car from the inside. "First of all, kudos to Team One for pushing through such a bold concept. From a creative point of view it was one of those briefs we've always been waiting for.

"The challenge for us then was developing and refining the story in a way that would work as a film and finding a concept for the transformations to fit the concept, ideally without resembling something we've seen before in this kind of commercial. "The main technical challenges were about handling the CAD data for the car, especially when it came to building the effects on top." Schedule: eight weeks.

Watched the whole short on BBC One last night (waiting for the Doctor Who Christmas Special, actually).
It's a brilliant short (and according to Sue Sauer's webblog, Softimage 2011 was used in its production).
;)
