Fanboy and Chum Chum

congrats on finishing guys, the final product is lookin really nice, do u know how the final was lit and rendered?

Hey Chris,
I’m not sure but I’ll ask Lee nelson to reply to that. He took care of all the amazing lighting and texturing.
Thanks,
Eric

Wow thats awesome! The colors are beautiful and the animation is smooth! Great Job man, I can not wait to see the full thing! I cant wait to see the ice monster moving and talking!

Stephen — Eric’s and Red Eye’s and Kevin Michael Richardson’s work on the Ice Monster is one of the coolest (no pun intended) things this season.

Hey Stephen,
Thanks for the comment. Thank you Homan for your comment as well, it means a lot coming from other Fanboys like my self.

Wow! It looks awesome Eric. I love the designy way Chum Chum’s ears and eyes came out. Great job! Looks like a hit to me! Fluid animation too. Great job man!

Thanks Mike,
It’s always good to have such talented people enjoy your work.
Eric

WOW! thanks everyone for your kind words.. We are a glad you like it. The way we lit /textured/shaded fanboy was a combination of old school and new school.. the backgrounds are paintings projected on geomtry then used a ambinet occlusion to bring it out a bit.. the characters (fb,chumchum) we used mental ray’s subsurface scatter to help give em a more softer fleshy/vinyl feel.. it was a gamble from the begining (due to light intereaction and such) but in the end it was well worth.. the ice monster went through tons of revisions, we had him shiny and icy , crystally, and finally forsty ish.. we felt this was best otherwise he was to distracting. glad u all like it, and hope to see many of you thursday and Al of YOU for the screening lol.. im out

Wow guys, this is feature film level quality animation here! Absolutely stunning. And you should be as proud as if not moreso than “punch”. In fact, what is Punch so proud of anyway? It’s mostly water and sugar and a little cancerous Red dye #5? Screw punch. You should be as proud as Wild Turkey, Ripple or even ROT GUT! Really awesome!

Thank you Manny, I’m sure the guys at red eye will be happy and a bit confused to read this.
Best,
Eric

WELL, WELL, WELL. IF IT ISN’R MR. ROBLES AND HIS TOTALLY FABULOUS PIECE OF FANBOY ANIMATION!
MAN ERIC; THIS LOOKS SO WONDERFUL. I LOVE YOUR CHARACTERS AS ALWAYS, AND THE ANIMATION IS SO COOL, MAN.
ERIC, I WISH YOU CONTINUED FUN AND SUCCESS WITH FANBOY, AND LOOK FORWARD IN SEEING MORE!!!!
TAKE CARE BUDDY.
