Magic Room

This month, Magic Room Studios shared some of their latest portfolio work called ‘The Spirit of the Forest’. The goal for this project was to create a short film that captures a magical world and forest that exists right next to ours but hidden, that is enriched with enchanting creatures and beings. By taking photogrammetry and photoscans of the forest at the base of the mountain, Magic Room’s artists were able to use the images as a base for textures in creating the 3D character model. Check out their case study to see how they brought the majestic creatures to life.

Ringtail Studios

Ringtail started the month off by welcoming some 3D modelling students from Narva into the studio to see what it is like in the industry! The students got a behind the scenes look into Ringtails studio, their traditional workflow, and even received a lecture on modeling from the senior 3D artists.

Finally, it was announced that the the first set of students will take part in the Ringtail Studios/Magic Media Academy, a six-week course where they will learn new skills and fine tune their existing ones!
