The mystery & controversy surrounding MS1 was a real pain, and still i don't think that many people know we did it. Maybe I should post that too

We'd certainly all love to see more "behind the scenes" from both trailers

Great stuff. What method did you use to render from vray. All those moving objects must have cause a bit of a headache.

[Shoey]

We rendered everything with IrrMaps and light Cache. The backgrounds were pre-calced and cached and the moving objects were rendered with vray gizmos.

There were a lot of layers and it was a bit of a headache at first, but the gizmos helped a lot.

The stills looks very good. (haven't seen the animation yet) This thread inspired me to try something similar as a personal project (when I get time)

Comping Vray Gizmo's

Great work - mind blowing

I have a quick question about how you comped you're vray layers. I tried to use that technique before and the tutorial used a Divide comping type that I could only find within max. I looked in all the main compositing softwares and there was no divide - have you guys scripted something to do the job ?

I'll be doing my own tropical island in the next couple of weeks - for the DVD of Pacific - the new Band of Brothers show for HBO, I might be trying to pick you're brains to stop me from blowing mine out :]

Thanks as always for you're help
