Here are some of the WIP renders, screenshots and vids we saved during production of ep00. None of this are final but it’s nice to look back at the process

First a couple of raytraced bottles for the sponsors

However the render above is in perspective, and the final shots use an orthographic camera! this is how it looks in ortho, notice how the refractions and reflections change. Not as nice IMO but good enough

This are the first couple of vegetables (yah I know tomatoes are fruits). Just playing with the style and rendering!

Some more!

 

This is a volumetrics test for the gas flames, it renders pretty fast

 

The volume was derived from a modifier based construction from a simple poly mesh, here’s the interesting parts!

Hi there!! today’s post is about the show’s second character: “Jean Mi”. This one was kind of an improvisation… the clients decided they wanted a second character very late during production, so we had a pressing time factor we didn’t have for Giovanni. So I did some drawings, then jumped directly to the sculpting part and learned something: IT WAS WRONG. I learned that design problems don’t solve themselves during sculpting, they just get worse!!! but at least this gave us some very funny stuff for the lulz …

so here are the few researches I made:

 

and the sculpting test… XD

the clients weren’t so happy about it (both characters are caricatures of real people :S  it was not very flattering for them…). Anyway, after a good night of sleep, and with a brand new look, I managed to make a more lovable Jean Mi.

and that’s it! thanks for watching!

Hi there!! today’s post is exciting, cause we are using a very new feature from p3d.in: 3D models embed ! The model you will see below is my first sculpted test of Giovanni, the main character of the show. I was also testing  time Sculptris for the first, and since then I can’t use any other program to sculpt. Pure Joy.

cheers,

This is a little “toshop” work I made trying to imagine how I would introduce the ingredients. I began drawing my little characters running with a caddie, since before any recipe it’s quite possible you have to do some shopping… And then I thought it could be fun to list them printed on a supermarket ticket. Further on this idea was skipped, but we kept the style of the little logo…

Hi there, this is our first post, yey! we’ve been wanting to do this for a while, so let’s go.

One of our current project is called “Les Recettes Animées d’Apollo”, it’s a series of 1 min animated recipes from Giovanni Apollo, our client, a very respected cook from Montreal, Canada. The show is being published on their website: http://www.apolloglobe.com/recettes, (maybe later on tv? that’d be 
awesome). Anyway, I wanted to start showing some character design research we did for the first episode. These are sketches I made for the main character: Giovanni. Yes, it’s a caricature of the real one…so delicate! I really tried a lot of different styles before finding something funny, lovable and not offensive for the real Giovanni… ^^ S.
