Work in progress : Mescaline - the Name and the Festival

Greetings Birds,

This week is full of "Annecy Animation Film Festival" around here. Attendees are arriving, getting their passes and getting ready to set the town on fire. Under the rain. We need those people.

François and I are finalising our official preview of FETCH for the festival, codename "Mescaline", our second short film made with appleseed the free-rendering-engine. To be clear, we aren't competing at the festival but we will show everything we have to everyone we drink a beer with.

My last post was about introducing our main character, now its time to meet her eternal nemesis, Wolfgang.

This shot is full of path tracing rays / motion blurred pixels / depth of field  / exr files / aovs / whatever you want. Have a look at the features this crazy renderer has. Its really cool.

Tomorrow, another post with moving pictures. And sound.
