Here we are!!
Finally the short is ready. I hope you enjoy it.
Tell us what do you think about it!!

As you may know 3D artists are a little bit crazy (and egocentric also…)
For example, here you can see Lorenzo holding his creature

and Mattia, playing with the two main characters, have made this composition

Hi everybody!
The short we are working on is almost finished.
We have to complete some animations, and refine lighting in few shots.
In these days, we will start rendering.
I (Gherardo) am actually working on an original music for ending titles and I’m also collecting audio files for the sound design.

I hope we could finish the whole project the next weeks -> Continue reading ‘News from “Eleven O’Clock”’->

In this video you can see the visual effect of the Motion Blur node we are improving.

We are also working on -> Continue reading ‘Spark Motion Blur + Spark Alpha Depth (first test)’->

The first version of Spark motion blur node we are improving is almoust finished.
This node calculates objects’ movement between two frames,
creating subframes or slices (as we called it).
Now we are running several tests to check the effectiveness of this node and we are working on the user interface.
This is how the node currently looks.

As you can see -> Continue reading ‘Spark Motion Blur user interface’->

Hi everybody!
The second session of Trickle Project is close to reaching its end…
But we are already thinking about the new session!!
In this post we will describe the kind of people we are looking for to create the new team
The following part of the post is in Italian. Below you will find also the English translation.

Un nuovo Trickle Project sta per cominciare!!

Siamo alla ricerca di tre giovani artisti per la realizzazione di un cortometraggio di animazione 3D.
Per realizzare il cortometraggio utilizzaremo tutti software free:
Blender per il 3D, GIMP per l’editing delle immagini ed Ardour per il sound design. -> Continue reading ‘Opening for new Trickle Project’->

The “Eleven o’clock” project is going on well.
We spent much time to organize some files (as we said in the preview posts the organization of files is fundamental!!) but now it’s time to render!
Mattia still working on animation. He had completed the 9th shot. All the shots are 22 so he still has a lot of work to do.

In the meanwhile we are rendering the completed shots.
So we can see what is wrong and what is right, and we have the time to the necessary corrections.
Here you can see a preview of first shot before and after shading and lighting (thanks to our shader Davide).
