Making of Info

Making of Zapping
This is the first short film Ikso Studio has developed. It?s taken us about 4 months to get it done. It is all self-produced. We have used 3ds max and Vray for almost everything, the postpo was made with aftereffects. The Idea of this short film was to make something simple, but with nice quality.

Making of Sprut
This is my new model, it had been long under the old concept. I have called this work sprut, although it is more similar to the scat, but decided to leave the name as stuck from the very beginning.

The main idea of this personal project of mine was to create an illustration of a futuristic warlord.
