TESTIMONIALS


“One of the challenges in making the film came from our glass characters. Specifically glass characters that had their faces located on the surface of the glass. This unique challenge presented us with a few different problems from a shading standpoint. We needed to come up with a creative solution to having the bottles appear to be made of transparent glass as well as filled with liquid without detracting from their facial expressions and acting.“

--Laura Brousseau, NitrogenStudios


"RenderMan Studio ships with a great library of physically plausible shaders, however for an extreme close-up in our Nissan Juke commercial, we needed a very specific look for metallic car paint. The paint had to look completely photorealistic, and we found that we required more artistic controls, including adjusting color layers, shaping metallic flakes, and pattern placement. We used LollipopShaders’ Carpaint shader to achieve these desired looks out-of-the-box and are very happy with the final result..."

--Armando Ricalde, Cluster Studio


"We knew early on that we would need some further customized shading solutions not only to distinguish ourselves from the other shows and our competitors, but also to take advantage of procedural techniques for our environments to make them more visually rich and complex without having to manually paint and manage many different texture maps for each asset. The LollipopShaders team already had a lot of experience with these procedural techniques, so it was great to collaborate with Christos and his team on our production. With our ideas..."
