Through the eyes of Iron Man 3

Hi everyone,

Today I just wanted to post something I read on CGSociety.org about how the heads-up displays (HUDS) were created for Iron Man 3.

Please find a link to the article below where it goes into detail on how these effects were created. The main hurdle which they managed to overcome was the combination of the different software which was used.

In this instance the artists used Cinema4D as well as Adobe After Effects. Technically getting these two great pieces of software to line up and work together isn't an easy task. Not only did the studio have to create and render out all of the 3D elements for the scenes, they also had to match them up against what the After Effects teams were creating using the live action video footage. It is this seamless integration which helps to really bring the HUDS alive in the movie.

Marvel's - The Avengers Assemble

Hi everyone,


Hot off the SoVibrant press! The Avengers is an amazing movie that everyone should go see!


Last night, a group of us SoVibranteers went to see this brilliant new movie.


We were a little apprehensive beforehand as there has been so much hype built up around the film and we didn't want to be disappointed. Fortunately it stood up to all of the hype and was as good, if not better, than we expected.


Below are a couple of quotes from the guys here at SoVibrant who saw it last night.




Mo Akhtar
"Absolutely amazing and stands up to all of the hype. The Incredible Hulk was an amazing character, I can't wait for the sequel!"




Adam Lay

"The hulk is by far the best character, smashing everything he gets his hands on. He is closely followed by Tony Stark for his comedy one liners. However, most of this can be outshone by the female roles where Scarlet Johansson, Gwyneth Paltro and Cobie Smulders pull off some amazing outfits!"

Peter Pringle
"Great fun! Comics aren’t really my thing but loved this film from start to finish (especially Scarlet Johansson)"
