This Month In
NYC's Nathan Love (www.nathanlove.com) recently brought
Toucan Sam into the 3D world for the first time. The studio
completed work on Carl the King Crab, a new spot for Kellogg's
Froot Loops via Leo Burnett. Nathan Love used the agency's
script to create a detailed CG wonderland in which Sam and his
nephews take on a grumpy pirate crab. The studio called on
V-Ray for rendering, RealFlow to simulate the coins, and Joe
Alter's Shave and a Haircut to detail Carl's goatee and mustache.
Nathan Love also uses Maya, Creative Suite and ZBrush. See
page 18 for more on Nathan Love and other small studios.
