RE: Jordskott tv series visual effects, Softimage+Redshift
I like the raven shots. I think you guys had some discussions where the reflection of the raven is placed on the cars hood in the last shot. Or if visible at all :) Great work. sven From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Arvid Björn Sent: Friday, May 22, 2015 10:38 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Jordskott tv series visual effects, Softimage+Redshift 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. https://app.frame.io/f/9839ef2c-0a25-4c41-8308-548078b613b1 Here's a bunch of cg ravens rigged and animated in Softimage, rendered in Redshift. https://app.frame.io/f/17a5c43d-0b29-4928-a0ae-35779930a492 This is a face wound-type thing in a dream sequence, Soft+Redshift https://app.frame.io/f/e7740833-7faa-4e13-a92e-b0be2f75f3b0 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-4e9f-b0e3-9d68a0c3ad3a (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
Re: Jordskott tv series visual effects, Softimage+Redshift
Highly recommended! We're running mostly gtx780 6gb (great bang for the buck if you can find them), we basically render on the workstations and a few designated gpu boxes as a farm using Royal Render. 10 RS nodes equate to like 50 Arnolds measured in final render time, it's that fast. I always render brute force with all the bells and whistles too. Our racked cpu farm mostly do Nuke jobs these days, some Mantra ifd's and the odd Clarisse job too. The other beauty of RS is that you can generally run a batch render on the gpu and keep working with other stuff on the workstation if you like, you can hardly notice it's working most of the time. Makes Soft more responsive too, and everything just works. The day RS supports VDBs, my life will be complete ;) On 23 maj 2015, at 14:19, Chris Johnson chr...@topixfx.com wrote: Amazing...buying my license of redshift in the VERY near future!

Re: Jordskott tv series visual effects, Softimage+Redshift
You read us like an open book ;) That shot was changed late in the process as well, I sure hope the reflection pass didn't get fudged, the angles doesn't quite line up, but iirc we settled for a correctish reflection rather than a correct invisible one.
