We finished putting together our 2017 reel, featuring work for Duracell, Google, GSK, The Guardian and more. But there’s much more work that we can’t show online so feel free to get in touch about a project and we’ll pull together some relevant examples.
Another little passion project that grew out of wanting to try out some new character techniques. Character animation is something I love doing and don’t have enough of it, particularly lip-synced characters that are capable of expressing a range of emotions.
Produced as a proof of concept render for a pitch. Rendered in Lightwave 3D with brute force depth of field.
That’s right Morphium is for sale! Here we experiment with it’s sonic properties!

Just time to whip together a little Christmas render for the season. Built in Lightwave 3D, taking full advantage of the spline controls in Layout. All the lens effects ‘bokeh’ was ray-traced in Lightwave with max ‘adaptive’ samples cranked to 4000 to clean up the noise. Here’s a subpatch wire for good measure!
Read more →Global illumination is usually reserved for rendering still images due to the approximation methods in which light samples are placed within a scene, causing an annoying flicker when playing back numerous frames. We’re recently been experimenting with radiosity setting that are closer to brute force while still maintaining reasonable render time per frame. The examples above are some fairly worst case scenarios, there’s still some flickering but frames are rendering at a reasonable 2-3 minutes a frame.

Feeling stressed? Why not unwind by occupying the most relaxed, care free creature in the animal kingdom. It’s still a work in progress and we’ve a lot of ideas to flesh out the mechanics of the game but as it stands it’s a simple physics sandbox that allows you to embody a cat and play with a multitude of colourful cat toys. Happy Cat is now available on the Oculus VR share store and require an Oculus Rift and Leap Motion controller and has already proven quite popular.
