Desde el 2010,  hemos logrado un enorme avance y soporte técnico altamente especializado en conversiones estereoscópicas para la ciudad de Guayaquil y Quito.

Experiencia Internacional

Gracias a las alianzas estratégicas con el Centro Científico de transmisiones de Canada, técnicos en programación especializados en imágen, color y producción de 3D, varias compañías internacionales que desarrollan tecnología para la reproducción de Cine 3D y Blu-ray 3D, hemos colaborado en un excelente ambiente de confianza sobre nuestra experiencia de producción 3D para lograr el servicio en Ecuador con estándares internacionales para la producción 3D estereoscópica.

Que diferencia hay entre los servicios de internet y el Cine en 3d?

Generalmente en servicios de video en red como Vimeo y Youtube podemos apreciar imágenes 3D estero anaglíficas. Significa: Doble color. Pueden visualizarse con las conocidas gafas de cyan y magenta (rojo y azul no es correcto y no se vé un buen efecto). El método de visualización anaglífico, es un medio distinto de los del cine. Los proyectores de los cines tienen mayor resolución, definición de colores, distancia de proyección y una serie de factores adicionales que son estándares internacionales de reproducción de películas. 3Dcinetv y Activemotionpictures tienen estos fomatos muy en cuenta al momento de adaptar un comercial o producción para cine 2D o 3D en Ecuador.

Compatibilidad con las salas de Cine

Nuestros servicios tienen compatibilidad con los formatos de cine estándar en 3D como son Dolby 3D y Real·D, tanto en los cines de Guayaquil y Quito. La compatibilidad para otras ciudades también está disponible a través de un formato estándar tanto en reproducciones 2D como en 3D.

La experiencia con la que contamos respalda sus producciones independientes (cortometrajes y películas) además de comerciales para visualizarlos antes de la película principal. Conocemos a fondo el equipo de cine tanto para proyectores de Real·D y Dolby 3D de modo que la conversión muestre la calidad internacional que Ud. busca para presencia de su servicio o marca.

Sonido de película.

La masterización del sonido se crea especialmente para reproducirse en el formato de los cines: Dolby 5.1. El estándar en Estados Unidos para las cadenas de cine es de Dolby 7.1. En Ecuador, este formato está comenzando a integrarse a las nuevas salas de cine. El mismo sonido envolvente de 5.1 y de alta definición está disponible para la conversión de su producción o comercial en 3D.

Cuál es el valor para adaptar una producción 2D a 3D?

Las adaptaciones en 2D a 3D son preferidas en el mundo entero por su bajo costo. Realizar un comercial completamente en 3D estereo es muy caro para el mercado de Ecuador. Sin embargo la alternativa mas rentable (y con las mismas posibilidades para que el público disfrute de la tercera dimensión en las salas de cine) es la conversión estereoscópica de 2D a 3D. Para una cotización inmediata, escríbanos: mas@3dcinetv.com o 3d@activemotionpictures.com – Tenemos valores convenientes para su próxima campaña estereoscópica.

1. Apps of the trade.
During the texturing process the 3d coat applink failed many times with 2011 advantage pack version. It could only update the texturing process once. I hope this is a bug that gets fixed soon. So what I did: Generated the texture inside 3DCoat and CTRL+P to send it to photoshop, there I save it as a PSD file and plug it as a material on Softimage. This way whenever I save the photoshop, 3DCoat gets updated and so Softimage (since I´m only reading the material, and not any topology by itself from the model)

2. Materials and Resolution.
I worked all of my texturing process up to 1024×1024, and when I was done I re sized it to 512×512 to maintain detail, and it paid off. Reason why optimizing small sized texture it´s important it´s because the engine would make a “larger” drawcall per material. Which also means you should Atlas your Uv layout as compact as you can to make the details show pretty much clear. Choices were obvious for the face and shirt.

3. Polygon Count.
I created the highpolygonal model FIRST. I know probably you´ve read that you should start the other way around. For me it´s much, much better to start with “high” count, and “blend and clean” polygons, than the other way around…Define at the beggining, unite in the end. All though I managed to drop down a formidably 25k to a 9k, my model still needs a lot of workout if I´m going to develop for android. But then again, it´s always safe to keep a “HI” (20k up polygons), “MID” (10K poly), and a “LOW” (5K poly) models separated so you can always go back to the prefered version of your choice.

4. Naming and Organization.
I can´t adress suficiently how much time saver you become whenever stuff is named convincently. I emphazise “CONVINCENTLY“. Yes, that means that by reading your digital file whether it´s a material, preset, model, obj or whatever the case may be, I can just bet you an asset named “GameModel_512x512″ it´s much more descriptive and convincent than “MainCharacter_Texturized_512_Uvset_Atlas_fixed_final_version”.
Of course, naming your game assets should be the first priority whenever the develop phase it´s still running. that way if you bring collabs in, they don´t feel lost at all. If you must create alternative versions, please store the alternatives at another level of folder (i.e.:All_Other_Models)

5. Check Polygon set normals
Oh yeah, one last thing: you probably would need a bump map into your character, whether there would be a helmet or push out buttons, so you need a Normal map. That´s how the light makes your material react over the surface of your topology. In addition, keep in mind that you will also have to plan in advance to generate a Normal map from your application. In my case, softimage counts with ULTIMAPPER. This is an operator that takes the hi-res model and bakes down a normal map for the low res character. Simple click-clack. No extra headaches.

Ok, I don´t want to bore you. There are many things that could go fine or wrong during the development phase. You need to plan all that ahead, your target, your console, your entertainment value, and match all those up.

If you got questions, please feel free to post. And show a little partnership by sharing this story to all of your socials. Thanks!

PrincessRil (April-Ann Tass) had the perfect pitch tone of voice for a perky 12-13 year old girl like Pami. After a fully detailed conversation of this project, PrincessRil got into a recording session for the videogame script which were really short but energetic phrases. There are also catchy words for Girly Pami, as any teenage girl would say…

Girly Pami´s current video shows her on a devastated city. The background was composed over real footage. A mix of paint and water in a fish tank were chroma-captured to get the organic vanishing dust. Facial expressions in the cg character have not been completed as this is only a speed test for the voice actress to perform as realistically as it gets to give Pami a definite personality.

Made with softimage, toon shader was part of this process. Idealistically there should be more render passes to control things like colored shadows and highlights, rimlights and a lot of other components that make part of a standart of high-end production in the movie-making business. This is aimed to the videogame cinematics I´m developing.
