I like the raven shots. I think you guys had some discussions where the 
reflection of the raven is placed on the cars hood in the last shot. Or if 
visible at all :) Great work.

Subject: "Jordskott" tv series visual effects, Softimage+Redshift

 

Hi guys, just wanted to show a couple of shots we did for the Swedish tv series 
"Jordskott." We did all the 342 vfx shots for all 10 episodes, all cg in 
Softimage, rendered in Redshift, Houdini for smoke sim and Nuke for comp.

 

Here's some of the more interesting ones I think (excuse the compression):

 

Full cg env and destruction. Redshift+ICE instance scattering achieved the 
level of detail, comped using deep data to combine Redshift and Mantra smoke 
renders. RS frame time was about 20 minutes on this, which is the highest I've 
ever reached with Redshift I think.

Here's a bunch of cg ravens rigged and animated in Softimage, rendered in 
Redshift.

This is a face wound-type thing in a dream sequence, Soft+Redshift

All the underwater environments in this sequence is full cg combined with some 
green screen uw-plates of the actress. The "entity" is made with a bit of ICE 
strand magic. Soft+Redshift, RS really has awesome volumetrics btw.

without grade)

 

And about 300 other shots.. =)

 

We worked for ~8 months with a core team of 3 artists including myself, and a 
few more for shorter periods. I also supervised the vfx on the show, which was 
a true pleasure! Can't imagine a better tool for the job than Soft and RS, it's 
quite remarkable how well they work together, it's all rendered on cheap 
GTX780's as well.

 

So Softimage is alive and well over here at least! The Maya licenses doesn't 
even work as a door stop, not sure why we keep them around really.

 

We'll do a proper reel for the whole season soonish, hope you like it!

 

Cheers
