GAMEYAN AND LITTLE HEROES – ALL SET TO HIT BIG

Steve Jobs once said that “Great things in business are never done by one person; they’re done by a team of people”. And Little Heroes (Pequenos Heroes), the first Venezuelan 3D animation feature film, is a classic example of this. Inception of this project started in the year 2012 when the Venezuelan production company Orinoco Films decided to make a movie about the feats of Simon Bolivar, a South American hero. Director Juan Pablo Buscarini, historian Carmen Bohorquez and screen writer Enrique Cortes formed a team and rigorously started working on it.

Just like any other competent leader, director Buscarini wanted the best for his movie. Instead of limiting themselves to the boundaries of South America, the team members reached out to the world. Their hard work paid off when they went on to hire 3D art and animation services from the experts across eight countries, which allowed them to have the best people working for Little Heroes. India made it to their list along with Argentina, Venezuela, UK, USA, Serbia, Spain and Hong Kong.

But, the breathtaking moment for GameYan (the brand of Yantram Studio) came when it was selected to be a part of the movie’s production. The challenge was tough but, the horizon of opportunities it showed to GameYan’s team propelled them to give their best. Without any delay, the game development production studio put their best foot forward and engaged 25 highly-skilled professionals. The team successfully completed 3D Character Development (3D modeling, texturing and rigging and simulation) of around 250+ characters.

Feature film Production of Little Heroes has finally come to the end, and the entire cast and crew is eagerly waiting for its premiere. What makes it special does not just include the fact that the movie stars the very famous Patricia Velasquez for the voice of Pilar, one of the protagonists. The movie stands out in technical terms too as it is the first South American animated movie which has used MoCap technique. The MoCap animation for the movie has been done by Centroid.

GameYan – Art and Animation Outsourcing Studio not only feels proud to be associated with the movie, but also wishes the very best for it. For all those who are equally eager for our ‘Little Heroes’, here’s a short synopsis of the adventure that awaits them.

Little Heroes (Pequenos Heroes) – The Story
Arturo, Tico and Pilar are three children who come from different backgrounds. On one fine morning, when the day seemed as usual bright and exuberant, the three discovered a secret. For these brave children, size didn’t matter. It was more important for them to fight for freedom. They decide to handover the secret to Simon Bolivar and help him defeat the king and his army. Amidst all the adventures, a great bonding between the kids takes place.

3Ds Max or Maya Which one will you choose?

“Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.” Says Norman McLaren.

So, people out here, are you ready to walk into 3D Character Modelling Studio? Which animation tools and techniques you want to choose, 3ds Max or Maya? Both of them are trending and powerful in CG industry amongst other application softwares which have short life in the booming world of 3D Gaming and Movie Animation.

From the viewpoint of an animator or artist, there is no difference between the two in terms of tools and techniques which are inbuilt in these Animation Studios. So, you can choose either of the two and get started because it is the skills which matters the most and not the software .One can start with creating Game Modeling Characters or Movie Modeling Characters by using any of these softwares because both these animating applications deliver the same results when used for rendering, modeling, animating, rigging character models or giving VFX effects in films.

Cornerstone of 3Ds Max.

3Ds Max is a robust modelling toolset and have huge library of different modifiers which lessen the work of an animator and helps him to create 3D character model easily. Mathematic or say logic is the key factor of this software. If you are familiar with the Boolean function then the task becomes smooth enough to deal while modelling, rendering and rigging 3D characters.

But, now a days, 3Ds Max is trending for Architectural Visualization like interiors and construction sites. It is well known and most useful software for designers who have integrated this animation software with AUTOCAD.

Cornerstone of Maya

Maya is purely a Movie and Game Character Modeling Studio. It’s key factor is MEL or Python-the scripting language which helps artists to create their own set of tools and design 3D character models easier and faster. That is the reason, why it is in demand in Movie Animation Studios and is powerful animation software when it comes to rigging.

That does not mean, 3Ds Max is less compared to Maya. No… It’s not the case. People only go for the option which is easy to use and faster in process. And, Maya has it all. Compared to the latest version of Maya, early versions were quite tough when it comes to creating complex 3D Models.

Pondering Factor

Talking about operating system, yes there is a difference. Maya is compatible to Windows, Linux, Mac OS where as 3Ds Max is available for Windows. So, people who are mould with MAC OS or Linux and want to opt 3Ds Max, it is next to impossible.

Go for the Best

Though, 3Ds Max has ruled the Gaming Industry for years, Maya is also no less when compared and now Maya is enhanced with new tools and techniques which brings the application back in demand.

Yes, Maya is expensive but best tool for character animation as with latest versions it is easy to learn and faster to model and rig characters.

3Ds Max has paved its way in construction field where designers and artist use this application with AUTOCAD to design the Architectural Visualization of any property, office site or building.

Now, the ball is in your court, which one you will choose to mould your career and land on giving a perfect shape after an interval of time.
