THE EQUIPMENT
We utilize various pieces of equipment to arrive at the final artwork that you see displayed on this website. Our workstations are the core of our productivity. We utilize a variety of stock and custom built machines to produce the 3D models and for video editing. For rendering animation sequences we use a multiple CPU 'render farm' which allows simultaneous multiple frame rendering.
When creating realistic texture maps, which are critical to photorealistic illustration, we like to begin with high resolution photgraphs which we typically shoot in-house(in RAW format) using a 35mm digital camera.
For our hand drawn images we use Rapidograph's .13 SS tip drafting pen along with waterproof black india ink on Strathmore 3-ply plate finish illustration board.
Our software of choice is Lightwave 3D. It has one of the best render engines on the market and it is equally functional for geometric and organic modelling. For post render editing and graphic design projects we use both Adobe and Corel products.
