The problem
ITV required a UK company to rig, pose and render characters and vehicles from the Robozuna series to include in a Style Guide for event promotion materials. ITV needed a partner who could not only work with un-rigged models, but also replicate the pipeline used by the studio. Multiple poses for each character were required, including post-process effects as well as a number of high resolution outputs for use on large format printed displays. Dam were the only company in the UK capable of using the pipeline required, working with Maya and Guerilla Render.
The solution
Dam delivered at least 4 options for each desired pose and worked with ITV in a close iterative fashion rapidly responding to feedback and working in a highly optimised way. Dam delivered the project over 2 main phases of development for the Style Guide and various events. This included over 25 characters, composite group poses, vehicles and accessories. Dam also modelled, textured and animated various additional props as well as an animated logo for the Chinese market.
