“Short Lived”, The Other CGI Robot Movie

From a discussion on Alphadrome:

“Short Lived” is a great video short about a collector’s toy robot that’s been called home.
It was written, shot, programmed, and directed by John Galloway and Mark Wainwright as a final project for their Masters in Digital Effects at the Bournemouth University in the UK.

While it’s made some waves in the 3D animation community, it hasn’t yet seen nearly the love it deserves on-line yet. Everyone who’s seen a “Deedar” wants a Deedar.

Here’s a streaming youtube version of the video:


And a high-res version is available here.

    So how do you suppose they got the virtual “tin” to show denting like that?

    The lighting I kinda get, but the denting is really pretty perfect.

    Ideas?
