Led by industry veteran Ken Locsmandi, the boutique visual effects company has been revolutionizing filmmaking through its virtual production pipeline that uses iClone and Unreal Engine to produce high quality, cost-effective animation.
Showcasing the best 3D character design and animation made with the company’s powerful character production ecosystems, the contest has awarded cash and prizes valued at over USD$47,500 to winners in multiple categories including ‘Best Character Design,’ ‘Best Character Animation’ and ‘Best AccuRIG Character.’
Mozambique-based FX Animation Studios owner Nildo Essá discusses how his 2-person team’s feature film production pipeline featuring iClone, Character Creator 4, LIVE LINK and CC Control Rig enables seamless transfer of data to and from Unreal Engine, enabling real-time animation editing, character control, and synchronized camera movements.
