This is the first render test of the dragon. It was for a TV show for kids called "A night in the castle".

I did the concepts and character design, and modeled the base mesh in Lightwave where I've also rigged and animated.

Sid Ahearne did the sculpt in Zbrush where he painted the textures. He animated in Lightwave as well.

Alexandre "Thunndro" Areal did the technical directing, light, shading and render in Max with Mental Ray and the compositing in After Effects. The final fire was done in Fume Fx. This is just a rough test done with particles in Max.

We took 3 months to deliver the 8000 frames sequence from concept to final composition.
