For those interested, here's a blog post about the Hair workflow we used
for the IGA commercial:

Also, you can check Td Survival on facebook, they interviewed our hair
artist, Luc Girard. It's great insight on the pipeline.

Seems you have a great team and setup, love the approach and I am
sure it had not been easy to bring that culture up.
Excellent work. Look forward to see more.

JM,
Timeframe would be around 2 months from concept art, character
design, storyboard and revisions, 2D animatic, 3D animatic, to
all the 3D stuffs we all love.
Shed is a little army/familly of passionate peoples. Maybe
around 12-14 artists participated on the project. Here is the
breakdown of our resources, human and machines… (wow…that
sounded weird to say) …. feel's like the matrix..
*Here's the credits to my team:*
1 Illustrator/story artist = Benoit Theriault
Our lead modeller Mikhail Semionov with the help of Marc Lebuis
and Isabelle Mainville
4 Animators = PH, Guillaume Pelletier, David St-Amant, Christine
Houle
1 Character TD/Pipeline = Miquel Campos
1 ICEman for hair grooming and sims = Luc Girard
1 FX artist for smoke and PES (particles in suspension) Dominik
Kirouac
2 Lighters/comper on Arnold/Nuke = JSeb and Bruno-Olivier Laflame
2 Texture artist on Mari = Isabelle Mainville and Marc Lebuis
1 Onliner on the Flame = Nicolas Pellicelli
I've only participated into client meetings, approbations, and
all the political stuffs. ;-) …. i may have suspended a pass or
2 on the farm because it was failing….. wow my job is too cool!!
*Software and hardware:*
*
*
*
Softimage 2013 sp1, Nuke, Photoshop, Mari, Mudbox,
Framecycler……. but mostly Windows Explorer V156… hep. I prefer
dolphin but for now we are mostly windows 7 x64.
*
We use Gear with a bit of customizing for rigging our
characters, (correct me if i am wrong Miquel)…
We use Exocortex Alembic for all of our animation caches needs
except for the hairs (for now).
Our render farm (used along with deadline 5.1) consist of a
couples of older blades for Nuke and 25 for Arnold long
hours crushing.
Wich some of the latest are 24 threaded machines with 16 to 32
gigs of ram.
That's pretty it…. nothing very fancy except from very talented
artists with big hearts and ambitions. Kudos to them!

Hi Chris! ..
It was 2013 sp1 x64, rendered in Arnold.
But we will jump on 2014 as soon as my subscription
problems are worked out.

Hey guys,
sorry for cross-posting this in different mailing list, but some of you
might not be on those.. and since this is a pure softimage project rendered in
arnold, well I guess it fits here :)
You can read about our production on our blog here. At the top of the
post you can view the spot in HD. Don't forget to go full screen!
