wow…

Nice update. The fully composited shots look lovely, as do Encrico’s environments.

doh!

Awesome!

hope, no-one has drank your coffee(gor their sakes..!)

ps. the river’s lookin’ ALOT better, as you guy’s promised! *drools* :)

Wow….just Wow…..
The renders look great. Just imagine all of this stuf with a camera flying over it. This is going to make a mark.

That is just simply amazing. If you wanted to get this quality out of still images, would you need to run the separate renders out and re-composite them, or is there another reason its done like this?

This is all blender made?
When is this available to buy?

wooooow !!!
This is so amazing…I can’t wait any longer for the movie to be released !!!

mWm you can pre order it now :

*drool*

The movie clip looks awesome too, with the animals moving…

The animation in that video is absolutely amazing guys!!

Can’t wait until it’s finished!!!!!!

Wow Andy, fantastic stuff! If you consider these low quality then I know for sure I’m definitely going to be mighty impressed with the final renders.

How are you managing all your assets?
Are models appended or linked into scenes so that, say, if you update a model standalone .blend then any changes automatically get propagated to the scene?

It would be interesting at some point to find out in detail how the production pipeline works for a typical scene from start to finish. I hope this area gets documented somewhere along the line (e.g. a video with a voiceover).

Superb job, these kind of posts definately increase pre-order sales. I feel so happy ;-p

Nice environments. Are these tree with the wizard_curve2tree script? I hope we get a tutorial soon.

just being a little picky. in the pic bbb1.jpg, the red squirrel. the line of action in the shoulder is funky. maybe up the right shoulder or lower the left one, cause a the moment those seem reversed. Probably in movement it’s all right

WOW , great render guys , nice job !

Peace :-).

WOW!!! Great work! Can’t wait to have the DVDs in my hands!:-)

I thought you guys hadn’t anything that was quality enough to show to the public? So you just fixed this in one day!
I’m having total confidence in you all :)
The river shot looks better when i see it here on screen. Makes the intro setting have “tranquility” (which is in good contrast with the rest of the movie, so don’t remove it).
I wish you all a lot of “Zen”, cause it is going to turn out fine…
greetings

The river shot is actually looking pristine (from my point of view). I really like the transparency on it.

P.S. Now the world will really know how evil squirrels can be!

thumbs up. :)

Just another post bla bla and great job!

Sweeeeeeeeeet! Looking real nice!

will the grass move correctly if they walk through it? how will this be solved?

horace: a recent commit by janne karhu made it possible to use force fields on baked static particle systems (so basically grass and fur)… this is what we’re using and it seems to work great so far!
.andy

Hmm.. Incredible work guys. I am relly looking forward to see all that stuff “In action”. That with “moving baked particles” is pretty handsome.

Anyone knows whens the movie coming out? available to public? April ?

If it looks half as good as this, and I don’t hear “Emo” repeated anywhere in the dialogue, I’ll be a VERY happy camper!

Rock on guys. You’re creating something completely unheralded in the open source world. Forget the hours and just feel the lurv! You guys are open source artist rock-stars! ™

Wow, looks so greeeeaT!

Don’t smack me. But two things I’d like to say in regards to the river scene.

The rocks need some adjustment. They look more like plastic right now than a rock.

And the um..lily pads? I think thats what they are should have some wetness to them, maybe a little puddle of water in the center of the leaves. I’d deform the shape a bit as well, much too straight right now.

I think thats it. Except maybe some translucency to the leaves, flowers, etc. But that all depends on the style you are looking for.

Everything is really shaping up. I look forward to tearing it all apart (the files) when its released.

Nice job you guy! I can’t wait for the movie to come out. But if I may be a little critic I think there is a problem with the grass in environment_test1.jpg
It seems to almost disappear as it gets close to the ground. Maybe the Ztransp is inverted? But anyway it looks great! keep up the good work!

So are those clouds images or volumetric….I love the grass in the new river test.
btw…it was NEVER crazpy

It’s looking fantastic guys. Brilliant work! We miss you all.

I have my jaw somewhere below table. It’s AMAZING! It looks very “pixar-ish”, which is ok, i guess. I’m looking forward to make a screening in our local student’s club.

anyone know what this “super high quality fusion image sampling” is that andy is talking about?

WOW!!! this is really amazing!

Hey! Don`t use “texturingmodelinglightingcompositinganddoeverythingelsetogetthemovierendered”
That`s to much for my eyes!
Good rendering.

I think the big rabbit looks like Ton , face expression.

Wow …
I would like to see more of these compositing videos. They give an idea how complex this all is.

Great work guys, texturingmodelinglightingcompositinganddoeverythingelsetogetthemovierendered
I must say that is a bit of a mouthful, even for Ton.
But I like where this is going. I agree the grass in the environment test 1 shot looks like its fading as it hit the soil. But I am sure you guys are on top of that already. That little animation at the end is nice as well, thanks for sharing.

Nice! Now the river looks really cool, the plants are really nice too! Good work!

Now for the sour-a** critique, I must say that the forest ground looks a bit too flat and spoils the mood a bit as the trees and leaves look really good.

Furthermore - the grass (seem to me) to use “fade out to ztrans” in both ends…that´s not good as it doesn´t seem connected to the forest-ground. It´d be much more convincing if it faded to a darker color instead, perhaps with just a TAD of fade-to-ztrans ;)

Cheers.

Tcrazy, the clouds are matte paintings (animated matte paintings…)

@andy: what’s the rendertime of the images with the bunny? do you consider them final, or there’s something else to work ?

Wooowww andy tu roooxxe !!! OMG !!

Wow…I love how fluffy stuff looks

Wow, that is frigging awesome!!! The characters look soo cute :D

This is somewhat beautiful…

if that is the crappy quality, The good quality must be amazing!

amazing grass, fur, and texture.. BUT

the ground and the trunk suffer sooo much of being flat!!

i’m sure the abandoned microdisplacement would really change the look of everything shifting to a more complete pro-look.

especially the ground, it’s so evident that’s flat, it’s disturbing the excellent quality of everything else.

‘but instead of just throwing a couple of rushed renders into the gallery and letting people figure our their context by themselves i would like to share some more information with you! :)’
Andy I’m around the corner (with your coffee!)

wow!

great work! I can’t wait to see this finished!

Looks fantastic!

BTW, I believe that andy stated that the ground has yet to be textured.

just being asking myself, there’s grass
(hair) and alot of it is there a raizon?
or just because blender can do this now?

Keep rocking guys ! your latest previews are awesome !
can’t wait to see more renders or animatics ! ;)
have fun !

piet: no, unfortunately there are no raisins in our movie. Would be cool though.

:( I was hoping there would be voumetric clouds.
Hey could env or andy right a tutorial on how you made that grass when your done with peach…and a tutorial on that trees from curves would be nice too.

This movie isn’t supposed to be “Pixar-ish”. Pixar makes great movies, but I’m pretty sure Peach is not aiming to copy Pixar.
Go go Peach team!!

I admit to be a novice to the blender world, but have been following the progress of this film throughout its various stages…In the latest stills, I still don’t seem to notice much in terms of bump mapping…everything comes off as very smooth. Is this an animation/style choice, or is this part of limitations of the program?

The preview renders look great! I’m already glad I pre-ordered a DVD. Truly inspirational! Keep up the great work.

–> Meestro actually the peach team is using some(on the trees for instance) however because this is going to be somewhat ‘cartoony’ I think they’re going for that smoother look. Blender actually has a very powerful ‘type’ of bump mapping called normal mapping.
Here’s a link that talks about it: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Bump_and_Normal_Maps

I can´t watch the ogg file… =(
where is the you tube version!?

Uhm, where’s the upcoming Youtube version? ;)

(Apart from that, to say something positive once in a year: Yes, the renders look amazing)

Oh my! Looks marvellous! I especially like bbb4.jpg because of the subtle diffracting flares! Nice details!

Dani

Thanks Sergeant Oreo. Since when is Pixarish such a desired adjective. I think Pixar does great stuff, but not everyone has to be like them. I think the renders look great and am looking forward to the final movie

[…] O pessoal do Peach está de vento em popa! A última demonstração de talento dos caras foi nesta postagem aqui, do blog do projeto, onde eles mostram testes de renderings de cenários e cenas do próximo filme. […]

While I think it´s natural for people to “compare” against what they know to be perceived as the best “eg. Pixar”…

…I´d say the Peach team should shoot for better! If you shoot for the best, you´ll always be second…but if you try to do YOUR very best…there´s a chance you´d outshine them all.

This teams efforts are by FAR the best I´ve ever seen in an independent CG-movie with such a small team.

Keep going guys!

You need watermarks on those renders.
