Friedrichsdorf, Germany - December 16, 2004 - Visual effects giant Sony Pictures Imageworks used MAXON's BodyPaint 3D and CINEMA 4D software in the development of Warner Bros.' "The Polar Express." The grand landscapes, the beautiful digital environments and scenery were created utilizing MAXON's award-winning 3D programs.
"The Polar Express", starring Tom Hanks and directed by Robert Zemeckis, is the first full-length computer-generated feature film in which MAXON and its 3D graphics packages were directly involved. Since its first introduction nearly two years ago, MAXON's BodyPaint 3D software has become the tool of choice for the texture-mapping artists at Imageworks. CINEMA 4D is a more recent addition, being used by the Imageworks matte painters earlier this year, specifically for its fast and easy workflow for creating photorealistic 3D virtual worlds.
Ivo Horvat Matte Painting Supervisor for "The Polar Express" said, "MAXON is serious about its artist-oriented philosophy, and they have completely transformed our workflow for 2 1/2D and 3D matte paintings as a result. While the 3D option has always been one we have used in the past, we are now able to output complex shots with a speed I had never seen previously in my experience."
The combination of CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D is fast becoming the premiere choice of top production studios for creating animated digital matte paintings and 3D environments. You can see what other digital artists have done with MAXON's products in such films as King Arthur, Spider-Man 2, Hero and many more.
