3December: An Evening with Blur Studio | November 11th, 2008
Thursday, December 4th, 2008
6:00 p.m. — 9:00 p.m.
This year’s annual 3December event features an evening with Blur Studio: The Cinematic Pipeline for Warhammer Online.
Join Gnomon and Autodesk in welcoming an extraordinary line-up from Blur Studio for an informative evening presentation on the cinematics for the incredibly popular Warhammer Online. Blur will discuss how they approached this cinematic compared to the first one they did for the same game two years earlier. How they used mental ray for their first large scale cinematic, as well as how they approached the very rough bullet points Mythic Entertainment wanted to show in the piece to go from script, storyboards, animatic to final renders. This event is NOT to be missed.
