AMS - Extrusion Process Animation
I was commissioned by AMS ( Architectural Metal Systems ) to create a detailed animation showing how their new state of the art extrusion plant works.
In a nutshell, aluminum logs are heated up and cut into smaller billets. These billets are then pushed through a die to create a profile which is then used for the manufacturing of windows, doors etc.. It's basically like a large Play Doh set.
With most of my animations, I start with a 3D CAD file which I then modify for animation use but in this case I had to work with 2D CAD drawings and photos.
I used Cinema 4D R18 to model and animate the scene, Vray3.4 for rendering and After Effects for post.
Part of the animation was rendered on my own internal farm and the rest was rendered using Rebus.
