Munich-based Aixsponza (“eks-sponza”) broke out their entire arsenal of CG weaponry for “Seed,” a surreal journey featuring everything from photoreal retro electronics to spooky, 3D-scanned humans dressed in Native American headgear. 

The project also served as a showcase of the recently announced Cinema 4D R17, which Aixsponza had advanced access to. Although they used many different techniques and technologies, C4D acted as a “hub” for the team. It’s where everything came together.

In terms of the technical process, Aixsponza says:

Photoscanning of nearly all objects, Octane and Arnold rendering, Softimage ICE for a few shots, Houdini for a few others and heaps of Cinema4d for all of the rest gets the shells flying and glowing. Add a bit of WorldMachine for landscapes (plus ZBrush and Modo for cleanup and retopo) and you’ve got our pipeline for this piece.
