I am still having issues with Flat lighting. In my Renders. The main issue seems to be getting light underneath Treetop Canopy. One way to solve this is to do what Megan has done and use render Layers this will let me render the undergrowth as a separate layer and then be able to edit down the light level by bringing down the highlights and choosing a darker mid-tone.

This was just a test my next step forward is to start really hammering into my animating.
AI Stand-ins : I was Shown Ai stand-ins today and wow what a cool tool. They allow you to have an object frame that is a template for your asset so this way your assest is only being calculated at render time making your scene a lot lighter and easier to manage. atleasts thats my understanding.

What is one of the most interesting things that they’ve made?
The Shows Premise follows Two larva who live in a gutter under a busy street, who play with objects that fall from above. The show has a very basic concept but plays out some very comedic scene.

Ánima is a leading animation studio based in Mexico City, Madrid, Canary Islands and Buenos Aires. Specialized in 2D and CGI animation, it creates, produces and manages high quality entertainment brands and develops original projects for kids and the whole family.
