ENVY SPOT


Digital Domain
Interview with
Blake Sweeney - Lead Lighting Artist,
Real Steel

"The render elements and buffers in V-Ray are a huge advantage. It makes rendering mattes a no-brainer. And the customer service and support is exceptional. Now, that we’re running Maya 2012, I’m looking forward to working in V-Ray RT!"


Video Interview

Must watch! Digital Domain takes us behind the scenes of Real Steel. Lead Lighting Artist Blake Sweeney tells us all about how they used V-Ray to light and render all the Oscar-nominated VFX action!
