Very nice!

Thanks for the links!

Looks like the interface based on the standard autodesk interface. No suprise, the whole studio works with Maya and Mudbox.

Currently trying to apply to a college course in animation. It's harder than it sounds.

Trying to enroll in a 2 year extended diploma. Sadly there are no colleges in my area that have a course on animation, so I'm doing one in gaming instead (The course involves animation and 3D sculpting so that's logical, right?).

It's the typical light-on-dark color scheme that is very widespread in modern visual design software. It helps designers to concentrate on the visual content.

They even seem to have their own Maya forks, as seen on the mockup screenshots here with the "DW" in the title. So they probably even have the source code available for customization. And the same page also has some mockup screenshots of a Media Manager.

Edit: Light is the old lighting engine that is now superseded by Torch:

The Lighting department at DreamWorks productions uses proprietary software. Working on TURBO, there was a bit of transitioning into a new lighting package that works with the animation package called 'Emotion'. The current gen lighting software is 'Light', and the move is towards a next-gen package called 'Torch'.
and this is our dragon

I meant things like the layo6t of the timeline or the little pivot in the corner. It looks a bit like the standard Autodesk layout. (I prefer the cube, but that's individual.)

I don't know how about Maya, but normally all colors are castomizable by the user. You could make it green-red if you want. :D
I prefer the layout in a very dark grey and the editor window in a very light grey.


I will try to find a DW employee from the Lighting Department on Twitter or somewhere else and ask him about 'Light' and 'Torch'. Maybe they are as cooperative as Mr. Stodolny. ^_^

To revive this topic:

Hi there, so here's some info on polygons. It's split into "faces" and "vertices" and does not include hair.

Toothless: 115,497 faces, 119,320 vertices (that includes the saddle)
Hiccup: 182,213 faces, 189,664 vertices ( that's leaving out the stitches on the flight suit!)
Astrid: 87,845 faces, 91030 vertices.
Do you have expected that it is so low?

Tech Fact:

Subsurface Scattering wasn't used for Hiccups skin in the first movie, but now it is like you can see here:


They did use subsurface scattering in the first movie. Though it probably isn't too noticeable.
