Project “Frozen” – first public viewing

December 22nd, 2009 | Author: Kay

Frozen – first public viewing
After a while "Frozen" is getting closer to the finishline and its time for a first public viewing. Basically its still a WIP and its Version 37 at the moment, but taking a rest over the holidays for new energy is a good idea. Its also good for a revision after some days. At the moment everything is renderer in one pass with a bit colorcorrection in comping. The scene counts around 90 Million polygons at the moment and there is still no ending.

. Feedback and comments are welcome. You can send it via contact menu.
