fluffy puffy peach posters
Posted in Media Gallery, Production by andyhi there!
well here i am again, and the characters are finally completed! as a peachy xmas holiday present we decided to publish some posters / wallpapers to decorate your desktop!
some geeky details: the characters were rendered in super high bunny sized resolution. the rodents each have around 2 million hairs, rendering them took 4 minutes. the bunny has 2.5 million hair strands, rendering time was 2 minutes. blender internal renderer, 8 cpu cores, 8 gigs of memory, 13 cups of coffee. you can see them here in all their high res glory!
BAD BOYS
BUNNY
happy holidays (for those who actually have holidays) and season’s greetings from the entire peach team… hope you enjoy!

Wow, great! I’m going to turn these into some more wallpapers, is it possible to license these images under a Creative Commons license so I could share those wallpapers with the world?
December 24th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Great, thanks Ton!

Happy holydays to entire Peach Team!!!! You’ve made this gift to us… You’ll be working at holidays… Can i consider you Santa Claus? ;)
December 24th, 2007 at 2:59 pm
They look marvelous except I would suggest you guys work on the edges of the eyes, they look too plasticy.
Happy holidays!
December 24th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
renders look gorgeous! It’s funny the fur on the bunny in the neck-chest area. I think longer fur in that area could be better cause at the moment there’s some sort of depression and the shading is strange.
Cool stuff guys, and thanks for the wallpapers!
December 24th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Wow. Simply Wow. Merry Christmas to all! I wish you a lot of crazy nuts ;-) within the gifts!

Sweet.
December 24th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
Look that Peach will be nice :P The little one with the ears in “devil” shape I suppose it is the smartest and the evil one :D
So boys take care of your “nuts” lollllllllllll
With fur all look like the original sketch even better.
Happy New Year! :P
December 24th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Holy CHRIST that looks good. I did notice that /wp-content/uploads/poster_rodents_bunnysize.jpg has some anti aliasing issues on Rinky’s teeth
December 24th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Awesome. The bunny totally reminds me of the killer ones on Drum Island in the anime One Piece. You can’t compare this to that, but damn, so much alike. I love the attention to detail! Keep it up!
December 24th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
Cool. I put you guys up on my blog, http://www.opentopix.com/topic/movies/better-than-pixar-the-latest-computer-grafix-movie-peach , and I am sure you are going to be bigger than pixar one day. keep up the great work . does anyone know where i can watch a preview?
December 24th, 2007 at 6:43 pm
Looks fantastic. I agree with Olaf that the whites of the eyes are the weakest point.
Good luck!
December 24th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Wow. Is there any way we could start making things like this from the SVN without having massive amounts of ram?
December 24th, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Really nice art work. Happy holidays!
December 24th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
dripping with character! cheers to your excellent efforts!
December 24th, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Wow! Amazing!
I still think that the eye whites and the skin around the eyes look extremely dull and plastic and phong/gouraud ; )
Can’t wait till they’re fixed!
December 24th, 2007 at 7:51 pm
Wow, very nice. I will keep an eye on this and hope it’s a good film.. this is the beginning of the end of wallywood!
December 24th, 2007 at 8:01 pm
holy cow…. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time! I overheard that this was coming by reading the meeting transcript yesterday… and here it is!
some critiques of the characters (only because I care immensely):
because everything looks so good, the weaknesses stick out. these weaknesses are flat, dull eyes (especially the eye whites and boundary between the pupil and white), and plastic looking skin around the eyes and sometimes near the lips.
looking at the concepts: /wp-content/uploads/rodents2.png
we can see in the concepts that the pupils are inset and three-dimensional, and that the area where they border with the eye-whites has depth. the eye-white shader is soft but still bright, and much less dull looking. the specular on the eyes is small and twinkly (not a white circle). lastly, the eyelids are thinner, flappier, and less plastic looking.
I think these differences are very important because they really stick out when the hair and the rest of the skin shading looks so incredible!
this movie is gonna be great!

Great work keep it up! Everything looks awesome, can’t wait to see it in motion.
December 24th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
Great work! Merry christmas to you all at the blender institute!
December 24th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
elephants dream was unwatchable because of the audio. It was beautiful, but it sounded like everything was in a tin can and with no background sounds…
Hopefully you think about the audio this time around…
December 24th, 2007 at 10:34 pm
Wow! They look great! Fantastic! Wonderful!
And the bunny . . . has . . . pink fur!!! And all along I was afraid he’d end up being white. Super Wu would be proud. :-)
December 24th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
Hey, you did not forget the XMas-Bunny 8) Wishing you a very merry Christmas!
December 24th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
You are so awesum!
December 24th, 2007 at 11:05 pm
Wahhh !!! bon, boulot j’espère que vous allez en faire autant pour les décors !!
Wahhh !! great work, I hope you will do the same for scenery!!
December 24th, 2007 at 11:17 pm

December 25th, 2007 at 12:45 am
Mmh, are you sure about the character design from the third animal (on the right)?
It messes with the rest and a bit cliché too, imho.
Merry Xmas!
December 25th, 2007 at 1:22 am
It´s too much good :P
Mery Xmas Peach Team!
December 25th, 2007 at 1:35 am
wow. looks great. anxious to see the movie. thnx.
December 25th, 2007 at 1:42 am
These characters are looking great! I am looking forward to this short, and hope to follow the production more closely in the new year. Please post more behind the scenes stuff if you can. I would like to know more about how you are creating such great characters using Blender. Keep it up!
December 25th, 2007 at 3:04 am
this is looking excellent. bravo to the team and i can’t wait to see how blender benefits from this project.
December 25th, 2007 at 3:29 am
id be interested in seeing a screenshot of
the comp nodes assuming they were used.
Looks good
December 25th, 2007 at 3:30 am
Have a wonderful Christmas and a very prosperous new year. Can’t wait to see further progress on everything. But in the mean time get some rest :)

great job,guys
December 25th, 2007 at 5:17 am
thanks for the wallpapers. happy holidays!
December 25th, 2007 at 5:33 am
Something I notised, the rabbit looks like a bear, just the ears that show it’s really a rabbit. But from that, it’s amazing work, and I hope those who are involved, will be satisfied with the work they have done.
December 25th, 2007 at 5:43 am
The one on the far right just looks too dorky…
Otherwise,if it’s not juvenile humor to titillate 14 year old boys,it might be worth watching.
December 25th, 2007 at 7:02 am
LR, cool so you might just watch it! Wow let us know what you decide to do!
:)
December 25th, 2007 at 7:56 am
This Wallpaper’s are amaizing, i can’t wait for the final result…happy holidays and don’t stop, demostrate that Blender can kick some comercial software asses.
December 25th, 2007 at 8:10 am
God Bless Team Peach.
Wish you Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
Thank you for this wonderful wallpaper gift.
December 25th, 2007 at 11:42 am
Great work! Already on my desktop

Beautiful work, guys! =)
Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to all!
December 25th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Excellent work. The characterisations are truly full of life. I too, can’t wait to see the final movie.

yes they could compete with over the hedge. awesome job guys. thanks so much.
December 25th, 2007 at 10:20 pm
Millions of hairs. Fantastic. Merry Christmas Blender coders!
December 25th, 2007 at 10:55 pm
how to get the diferent fur color in the same character?
December 25th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
fantastic except one strange green eye.
December 26th, 2007 at 1:46 am
Many thanks. I can really use these!
December 26th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Well done! Great work guys!
December 26th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Mad as a rabid dingo mate. Given on one machine that took four minutes… just had me thinking if you were to start animating something for 10 minutes, include all three characters and their surroundings, you’d look at 5-12 minutes per frame, 27 frames per second (?), 60 seconds per minute and then 10 minutes of that. Nuts!
December 26th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
happy xmas and cool progress. I also think the eyes and the eyelids/skin bordering the eyes could be improved. The skin tone around most furry chritters very closely matches the colour of the fur..but a more reddish version.. eg. grey fur.. grey with dark red tones etc. the only animals that has pink eyelids are white furry cats. I think Gamera should have grey eyelids..
and fur closer to the edge of the eyelid area. I think the bunny has and the squirrel have the best looking eyelids and fur. Gamera and the evil looking furry critter needs some tweeking..
go look at some cats and dogs eyes and you’ll see what I’m talking about;-) otherwise really awesome guys!! ;-)
December 26th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
Great work!
Good luck guys!
I’ll back to see more!

December 26th, 2007 at 6:11 pm
Happy and joyfull holidays and happy new Peach year :)
December 26th, 2007 at 9:24 pm
hello
pleas give me many photo for my weblog
tanks for u
December 26th, 2007 at 9:58 pm
They look great!
the bunny specially, although I think the specularity in the eyes is too high, and the skin bordering the eyes needs to be smaller and in other color.
The skin in around the eyes on the bunny looks fantastic, the right size and color.
December 27th, 2007 at 12:50 am
It looks very great!
Can’t wait till I watch it. :)
December 27th, 2007 at 1:03 am
Great wallpaper, which reflects the excellent work! BRAVO ! ;o)
December 27th, 2007 at 2:14 am
Brilliant… I second (or maybe even third ;) the comments about the eye and skin shading. Other than that, it’s awesome!!
~epat. :)
December 27th, 2007 at 3:07 am
Man, I love it! Especially the bunny. He looks so…I dunno. Cool! The other guys are a little unpleasantly creepy, though. :p
I can’t wait to see how the scenery.
December 27th, 2007 at 3:21 am
this may be a dumb question. if it took 2 minutes to render one rabbit alone, how long will it take to render a scene with thousands of images with, the rabbbit and three other rodents, with all those trees with millions of leaves?
how will this be possible? will every frame of rendering (which i’m sure be thousands of frames) take 30 to 40 minutes to render
December 27th, 2007 at 11:27 am
Well yes of cources! IN CG World it`s not unusual that it tkaes hours to rendre just one frame!
Great Job guys – And much luck for your work!
December 27th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Felicidades!!!… es un hermoso e impresionante trabajo el que han hecho.
Un abrazo desde el fin del mundo (Chile)
December 27th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
I think the images are great…
But, it seems like the fur on all of the chars is very short, and they all basically have the same fur. It would be cool to switch it up a little bit maybe give one of them longer fur that is a bit more bushy…
December 27th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Great work, guys!
The rendering times sound interesting… I think it’s time to update my system. I can at least afford the 13 cups of coffee – maybe they’ll do the trick :-).
December 30th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
i can really see a strong combination of @ndy and sago in these images…and that can only mean one thing…this animation is going to freaking ROCK!
January 1st, 2008 at 2:15 pm
The images look great but the right animal has a green eye and a brown eye. I don’t know whether it is a mistake or not. For me it looks a bit strange because the eyes haven’t the dame size.
January 3rd, 2008 at 1:46 am
I’m pretty sure the eye color is intentional. It happens in real life even. Do a google search for Heterochromia and you’ll find out all about it.
January 4th, 2008 at 1:24 am
Wish you an awesome 2008, and great wallpapers!
January 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
loved it!, made me smile…you guys are great!
thanks for sharing your talent.
January 25th, 2008 at 7:22 am
Great Job, you guys!!! High props for everyone in the Peach team. Although, certain features of the characters bug me. Their lips and other exposed skin look too rounded – is there a way you can sculp the lips and animate it? It would look so much better. The bark on the trees too have the same problem. Although you cant really have everything perfect and seamless. Im just saying. Anyway, good luck with the movie! Cant wait for it to be done! Great Job and keep up the good work!
February 13th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Yeah a movie that consists of horribly voiced furries running around in a disconnected plot. Ima bit skepticle, this ‘open source’ model probably isn’t applicable to everything.
April 26th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
it’s fantastic i want to make fur like that , your brilliant designed really
