Cogswell College’s Project X: Worlds Apart
Our friends at 3D World Magazine and CGSociety.org both featured an awesome project from Cogswell College’s Project X Class: Worlds Apart.
Completed in early summer 2011, Worlds Apart was created by a talented and motivated group of Cogswell students. The latest software, production pipeline, and studio techniques were utilized in the creation of this animation tour de force.
From 3D World Magazine (Issue 155 - May 2012):
Key Technology: Worlds Apart features a number of varied environments, so the team decided to use Vue xStream for its speed and ease of use. "Vue has a great interface and you're able to customise plants and trees to look otherworldy" explains assistant professor of Cogswell College, Michael Zachary Huber. "Vue's atmosphere editor was great: it was easy to create background plates of clouds and then just animate it as a single image in the compositing process. All of these processes would have been too time consuming in a general purpose 3D app!"
The Worlds Apart short has been accepted by many film festivals and has won a few awards already!
