Hey Sandy - its always good to see a softimage based movie completed – and another one in progress? cool!
Based on all you squeezed out of that particle plugin, perhaps Autodesk should make a case study of your production: “ Want to boost your overall 3dsmax or Maya workflow? With the Softimage Universal Plugin you can replace your complete workflow, and enjoy improvements on all fronts! “ Sorry to derail the thread – I’m certainly looking forward to seeing both movies – on the screen or DVD – whichever way they make it to Europe. Silly question (or not?) – was motion in post or rendered?

Night and day though - we did sweat somewhat with MR.

Nice to see our beloved particle plugin can pull this off ;-) I was under the impression though you rendered this with Arnold? cheers, Rob Wuijster E [email protected] \/-------------\/----------------\/On 20-9-2012 10:45, Sandy Sutherland wrote: Just letting you all know there was a small featurette released on vimeo - http://vimeo.com/49767597 We finished the movie completely in Softimage rendered with Mental Ray, it was a huge learning experience but given the size of Triggerfish, it would not have been possible to have done this in any other software. ICE is used extensively to create various assets and effects AND to fix stuff - it certainly was a Swiss Army Knife for us. Oh - the dust and smoke stuff was rendered with Fury from Exocortex - feathers for Zam were done with MB_feathers which we built a pipeline around to do caching to geometry for rendering.
