Finished Shots from The Chronicles of Nerm

That is really inspiring work and dedication ..almost as good as Pixar or DreamWorks
Iam assuming you are using Vray as u posted here in this forum ..so i was wondering did you use GI or Fake GI with clever Lighting Rigs ... as alot of pro Lighting artists in pixar like Jeremy Brin and Jeremy Engleman do NOT recommend GI for CG film production ...
- Were the characters rendered in same environment with same lighting .. or they had their own seperate light rigs ( Key , Rim , Fill , kick .. etc ) .
last thing was wondering did u use Fusion or After effects

finnaly i really want to congratulate you on this great results ..

Regard ,

wow..
the character with squished nose and floppy ears is superb - he looks like a real alien especially when he smiles

do you hold down another job/work while doing this?

Man - you are lucky. I just looked up some of the people you're working with.

That chick Zoe Bell is amazing - never heard of her before until tonight:

She did a fantastic job in my film! Look for her in the upcoming film 'Gamer' with Gerard Butler, John Leguizamo and a few others, as well as 'Whip It', being directed by Drew Barrymore.

I do, as well as (starting to) direct live-action films.

I am using GI (and yes, this is all done in VRay). I'm doing character and background passes and lighting each of those differently in their own files. It's been working out well and renders (more or less) pretty quickly. I'm using After Effects to put it all together.

Thank you everyone for the very nice words!
