Wow I’m amazed by the style seen a lot blender, this is a class apart great, now i have to see that movie
I featured you on BlenderNation, enjoy!
Stories like this should be showcased on the mainpage of blender.org it would go along way in promoting Blender to “pro” users:)
Wow amazing work! I love that style!
As far As I understand from that article Jim “got hired as a character designer on the film”. But Alberto was production designer for about two years at the beginning of the project thus responsible for overall art style.
Seems more like Jim made the style if om honest. He was main designer and they developed from that.
Saw the film yesterday with my 8 year old son and my 17 year old daughter. While the story is for sure enjoyable, I can’t but agree with everyone who already posted their comments: the visuals on this work are outstanding, amazing, awesome, you name it.
A totally personal style which is completely different from the mainstream of 3D animation trend nowadays. A mix of almost photorealistic images (the cars, the cityscapes…) and clearly comics inspired characters, plus a comics-like dithering (screening? Don’t know what’s the correct term) which is unique in its outcome.
The usage of colours is beautiful and absolutely flawless.
A film which absolutely deserves to be viewed!
Great to know that blender had a part in all of this.
Please don’t speculate. Read Alberto post on Facebook for some info on this.
This project is a masterpiece! A lot of really talented people contributed to it and made it what it is. Awesome. And so fresh.
Thanks Bart!
Glad to hear Maxilogan!
I didn’t work with Jim Mahfood so can’t comment on his involvement. Alberto was production designer while I was there in the beginning…basically head of all Art.
