It’s always difficult to start a project, that has no limitation. While the world goes crazy we were thinking how can we implement that feeling we have into images. The first thing that poped up in our head were foggy images, not having a clear vision, defuse environments and hidden subjects.

Welcome back
PUBLISHED ON
21/03/2022
DESCRIPTION
Finally we've got some time to continue with an other collaboration project. We definitely are looking forward to create new and fresh Rn'D, to play with new 3D tools and explore new visuals during the following five weeks.A lot of progress we made together the last year, Vitaly directed few bigger gigs like --> Hublot. And Vincent did some arty projects, started to teach and creates neat assets content for 3D folks. But we also teamed up and made two smaller jobs like the one for Tylko and for UGG. Besides from that we also spend a few days together in the mountains of Tyrol and hiked above 3k meters.

sound design
PUBLISHED ON
18/04/2021
DESCRIPTION
We asked our friends Jürgen Branz , Jochen Mader / Zenthing and John Black / cypher to try a different approach to create sound design. We wanted to split a track into 3 layers and each sound artist does one and send it over to the next one. Sounds good, doesn’t work - yet. For this exploration Jürgen did the first draft and Jochen took it from there and finished it. Next time John will take the lead and we’ll mix up the teams. Nevertheless it was a great learning. Especially talking about sound in general and being able to describe it as good as we talk about visuals. For us sound is the other half you need to make a good visual piece perfect.

Cutting wood
PUBLISHED ON
14/03/2021
DESCRIPTION
We were playing with different material setups, like the substance material library, some procedural textures, but also alpha masks and smart materials. There are definitely some limitations for details, especially in close ups. Though Redshift displacement helps a lot to merge different image qualities.
