This was supposed to be an animation that ran pregame in a football teams stadium. Basically it is just a quick little 10-second bit that showcases each teams helmet as it sort of 'scans' in, first the wireframe of it then the fully shaded and reflective version. Unfortunately this animation was never played due to things beyond my control, but if u have a football team and want a vs. animation for every game, this one is for sale :) This project was done primarily in Discreet 3dsmax 4, using Brazil R/S to render and Adobe After Effects for alot of compositing, faked dof and glow. It's all set up in a bunch of layers so that the diffuse layer of each helmet can be swapped out without having to rerender any of the time-consuming stuff (like reflections).

12 sec animation - 779KB - uses divx 5.0.2 (get divx here)
