Interview: Digic Studios on the Assassin's Creed Cinematic

[LY]

The Assassin's Creed 2 intro was a team effort, so it doesn't really matter who wrote the answers, everyone deserves credit for their contributions

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!

This is so amazing...and thats saying something because i'm not easily amazed

I remember watching the warhammer cinematic a while ago, when I saw this intro I thought these guys are even better than the guys at the studio that did warhammer! I didn't know that was possible...

Didn't know they're both coming from you!

If I can't work as a CG artist at your studio I'm also honoured if I could bring around coffee

This is truly a masterpiece of work...

Does someone know, who was directing (Camera operating) ?
And who did the lighting ?

and finally, which software for the character animation was used, and which render ?


thank you so much

Oh my GOD that also is TOO COOL!

Can I arrange a job interview with you guys somewhere around 2012?

Very Nice

Hope the second game's a lot better than the first.

Does someone know, who was directing (Camera operating) ?

As far as I know most of the camera work was done by the director, István Zorkóczy.

And who did the lighting ?

Many people worked on the lighting, including Balázs Horváth, Péter Fendrik, Péter Svéd, and István Zorkóczy.
(Again, as far as I know, so I might have to correct this later...)

and finally, which software for the character animation was used, and which render ?

It's Maya and Mental Ray.

Being an amateur Zbrush artist, & a gamer that somehow missed the original Assassin's Creed I have to say that Ubisoft owes Pixologic & Digic a big thank you. I went out & reserved a copy of AC2 & picked up the original Assassin's Creed only after I'd seen the awesome trailer that Digic did for AC2. To anyone who hasn't seen it yet, WATCH IT! WATCH IT NOW! It truly awesome. As I said I hadn't even played the 1st game but the trailer was so cool I had to get AC 1, & reserve AC 2. Digic did it for me as a consumer & an artist. Really love this interview, VERY detailed. Gotta love this company too! Digic does great work & now we know why, because they put the artistry before everything else. If only every company in the game & CG film industries did that. I could name a bunch of big film studios & game developers who need to look out for up & coming companies like Digic. Kudos to Ubisoft for hiring the exceptional team at Digic to do the AC 2 trailer.

digic does it again,great works again,thanks for interview

That part really got me too. I was like, 'wait a sec, there's companies who give a crap about their artists in this industry? And I thought I'd have to know EVERY program out there to ever get a job.'
