That was fantastic.
Great work in such a short timeframe!
Redshift looks amazing and those render times are awesome.
Next time you have to do 80's, just watch a few episodes of Miami
Vice. ;)

Hair and Strands are supported as of a couple of builds now, but
'lofted' strands are not, they're still in progress. The hair
shader is also not live yet and is being worked on currently, but
the default Redshift_Architectural works fine for most cases. You
can do a good bit with it, especially cartoony stuff.

Amazing job! I'm buying a license tomorrow! No joke. Any idea
on how far away hair/fur/Strands support is?

We were fortunate to be able to work on an ad for
Chick-Fil-A recently, rendered in Redshift.

The concept was simple: have a camera move through a room
as it changes decor to reflect a different decade from
the 1960s up through the present day. We technically had
2 weeks from start to finish, but in reality we wound up
with a much tighter schedule. We certainly didn't have
time to model what we needed, so we bought some
commercial models, retextured and reshaded them, and lit
the scenes. In the end I was able to get each decade
accounted for in about one work day each. Spent a couple
of hours in the morning gathering and prepping the
assets, then blocking in the lighting and shading, then
rest of the day tweaking, and finally off to render. Joel
and Don then took it and comped it in After Effects.
- The 3-bounce cap was raised right as I started lighting
this, and I was so thankful! I used 8 bounces on this job
and it really helped, especially in the 70s set, with all
the orange spill everywhere.
- The shag carpet in the 70s set is not hair. It's just a
single dense rug instanced around the room.
- Rendered using IPC + BF. The longest frames were for
the 70s and took maybe 12-15min on our fastest machines.
Other shots were closer to the 5-6 min mark.
- The 80s set was tough! Have you ever tried to actually
define the 80s in terms of style? It's a mess! We all
have ideas about it, but when it comes time to actually
produce something that says '80s', and you have like a
day to do it, it's not easy. Stupid 80s! In the end, we
had a couple of different directions to go in, and just
picked one.
