Marvel Arts

If you’re curious or even serious about how Hollywood makes their animated movies then welcome to the club. I’ll start this section off with a very simple and crude animation as you see below as an example.

What you’re seeing to the left is what’s called a ‘hardware render’. I do these as I’m tweaking the motions. It’s extremely quick but not smooth, you see jaggies along the edges.

In geek speak, a hardware render means setting your 3D software’s rendering options to use the OpenGL graphics libraries of your video card and it’s GPU (the graphics card’s CPU) to process each video frame.

A final render which would be higher quality. While working the details of the animated sequence I do quick clips. A production quality software render would showcase the textures, shadows and hair strands better.

How it was done:

• 3D model staged in DAZ Studio and rendered through an nVidia card.
• Video post processed in Adobe’s After Effects for scaling, tonal balance, logo insertion, compression and export.
• Using Flash, made into a SWF with preloader and timeline looping.

The character is Shey, who will be featured on VixxxSin’s Sex Fantasy Art site along with other 3D hotties.
