It has long been an ambition of the Straandlooper studio to move into 3D and on Friday we finally made the move with our Hector: Fat Arse of the Law property. We decided to move production of the ‘Badge of Carnage’ iApps into the third dimension.
As you can see from the above image Hector himself was the first character that we rendered in 3D. Obviously moving to a 3D pipeline will not be without its difficulties. For example we had difficulty recreating the ample girth of Hector in 3D and his chin is not meant to be quite so Men’s Health cover model, more Curry Monthly cover model. But I am sure that these are teething problems that any studio will experience when making such a dramatic change to a production this late in the day.
Special thanks must go to Ciaran Oakes who created the Hector cut-out. And a special mention also to Professor Ali McIlwain who rigourously tested out our new Hector 3D character rig by using it as target practice with the studio’s arsenal of Nerf guns.
