Hey All,
You guys totally nailed it. I was about to jump out of my seat at the incredible character animation and effects. This is a great production for Houdini and I saw character animation that I swear I have not seen out of any other studio even pixar which is very good animation. I would say you guys are neck and neck but you have a very different style made possible by the procedural nature of Houdini. The plot was awesome also and so were the lines. This movie blows Ice Age 2 right out of the water. Very Very exciting time with Houdini and Character Animation. smile.gif wink.gif Kudos and good luck with your next character production with Houdini. You landed a slam dunk in my book.
Cheers,
Nate Nesler
Full Version: The Wild Kicks Major Booty. Go See It
Yes but no, but yes but no!…. I spent almost one year of my life on helping producing The Wild.. and I cant hide my “Tristesse” to see its poor performance at the box office. :cry:
For studios movies must = $$$$ = success, I dont know if they will consider The Wild as a success! Hopefully the industry will recognize the power of Houdini.

other than rendering, compositing and most of the modeling - everything else was done in Houdini….layout, animation, prop rigging, character rigging, crowds, FX, finaling, lighting, all the pipline stuff etc…
good article.
it seems that we have better thing than xsi's GATOR in houdini

Some compositing was unofficially made with Houdini too!.
yeah, but it was hard to tell….it's so dark down here…. :roll:
It looks very well made! Also, great article; I'm just done reading it, the emphasis on the use of Houdini was perhaps most interesting of all!
This will be, without doubt, an amazing showcase - to both the general public and CG artists, from animator to TD - of Houdini's capabilities and potential. From now on I can refer to/mention this whenever somebody approaches me about what and where Houdini was ‘used for’! :wink:
