The original BlastOff! Bed was also featured on HGTV’s
Look What I Did!
We created BlastOff! as
a test project where we could exercise and refine the skills
necessary to produce all aspects of a 3D
animated short film, from concept to completion. A primary
goal of this exercise was to establish a 3D animation pipeline
and render farm at DreamLight that
we could use to produce a wide range of client 3D animation
projects
for
the web, CD-ROM, DVD, digital
video, TV and film.
In fact, we “wrote the book” on setting up a render farm,
we wrote the chapter in the LightWave 3D 9 manual about Mastering
LightWave
LWSN
ScreamerNet
on
Mac
OS X.
While creating BlastOff! we especially
focused on many aspects of 3D
character animation including 3D
character design, 3D
character modeling, 3D
character rigging, inverse kinematic 3D
character animation and 3D
character facial animation using
morph maps
and morph
mixer. We built a detailed
3D set of a bedroom with a sophisticated
spinning lighting rig for global illumination style animation
lighting as well as a full
collection of 3D props necessary to
populate the set. We also built a
3D space set, complete
with a 3D model of Saturn, a twinkling star globe, space
nebula and a particle-driven hypervoxel rocket exhaust,
fire & smoke trail special effect.
We’ve also
posted a full online gallery
of high resolution production stills from the 3D film.
