Was it made in Max or Maya? I thought Blur switched to Maya a couple of years ago… ---

From what I know, the rendering was done in 3ds Max; a lot of the animation was done in Softimage. Best regards, Vlado ---

From what I was told, Blur try to keep compositing to a minimum and try to get as much as they can in the render itself. Best regards, Vlado ---

I had to keep the dof in cg. Due to amount of layers we would otherwise have to slice with. Regardless of that I ended up with 64 render layers each ranging from 10-60 render elements 🙂 I seriously doubt achieving something complicated as what they had was done in a few passes 🙂 But then again, Ilm does things all in cg…so I hear anyway. ---

I was helping them with Dark Souls 2 the bridge scene (modeling, texturing, materials, lighting) so yep it was rendered in vray 🙂 [http://lukx.com/blog/708](http://lukx.com/blog/708) ---
