Title: Intro Animation for Brazillian Tv
Post by: kumodot on 2014-05-07, 17:21:04

    BeeldStudio (An animation studio at Rio de Janeiro) Finshed this new Intro Animation for GloboTv. The intro was rendered only on Corona Rendered. It was a short deadline for shading and lighting the scene, and Corona was perfect for the Job. The Render cames out so fast that they didn´t need a RenderFarm. (About 5 to 15 minutes/frame)
   

    The Dof was made on Post using Corona ZBuffer pass. It was a bit dangerous to render on-camera dof on a short deadline.

I love it :)

How did you manage that tiny detail to render out? I mean those little spots? Is this geometry or displace/bump? I ask because whenever I use bump or displacement, I always get flickering

Now this is awesome! Creepy, wrong, but awesome!

Was it from the beginning planned to be rendered in Corona?

I think I don't really want to know what this TV show is about, but I like the animation! Great work :)

  Lol. Deadclown.

   This was a Comedy Tv Show.
    And it's fun. This TvShow has a about 1.6Million viewers each Tuesday Night. :)

    It's about 2 married couples and their highs&lows on marriage. They change the intro for each season, but, it's always an animation (StopMotion or CGI) with the same subject (with those little "cake dools") representing Fight & Love = Marriage. :)

Well, then it's allright :D Doesn't sound so bad.

Btw, have you tested how long it would render with pt+pt ? I've seen flickering here and there so I assume you must have used HDcache.

   Nope. :(
      The deadline was very tight to lit/render everything... ( A Weekend on few computers...), and i was not in charge for rendering it,so i just made the light/shading, textures and setup it for rendering, checking just on stills, on the LookDev stage i was using HDcache, and it was rendered this way, after it's done we detected those little flickers, but we didnt had the proper time to fix it all. ;(
      For sure PT+PT would solve everything without much time increasing... I want to render it again, on my machine using real dof and tweaking some lights. I just need time for that. lol.

   The characters where modeled then "Zbrushed" (not by me) (I have modeled some props though ), and exported with displacement and normal maps. The fine details came from those 2 Maps + custom bump and glossiness maps.
   I am using some "Dust" maps mixed with difuse and combined with the bump and glossness to bring that little "dirty" look, cause those dolls are tiny, and at this level of close-up you have to add a little more "sense of details and "unpolish look" to the shaders to sell it better on screen. I did some custom masks painting then directly inside 3dsmax Viewport Canvas, to mask the Blend Shaders mixing areas with lower and higher highlights, trying to simulate the imprecision of someone brushing paint and adding details to the dolls...
     You can see my masks working around the neck/chest on the mans suit. But there's some more paintings spreaded on almost every model.

I love it :)

I've actually found that as long as you turn up the sensitivity for the HD cache, there's very little flickering. I did a test with an interior scene with moving objects, lights and camera, and with position sensitivity at around 80, it didn't flicker noticeably.

I'm must be blind, because i watched this clip two times, looking for flickering and could not see it at all. On a brighter side, perhaps that means, that 99% of normal viewers on tv, will not see it too :]
Btw, great work!

I saw a lot of HDcache flickering...  a LOT... you have to look at concave areas though...  :)

Absence of flickerfree cached GI is one of Corona's biggest dealbreakers now...  but there are worse ones... like no shadowcatcher, no SSS, no Interactive rendering or no pFlow :)
