Hi dear Berries! 👋😊 Today we’re excited to bring you the Pre-Render of the ninth Pre-Animation of Foxlo transforming into a Giant Blueberry! 🫐 One of the most important moments in the entire transformation sequence. 🎞️
That’s right!—we now have the preview render pass for shot 09 ready, ✅ you can see how Foxlo’s body begins expanding rapidly due to the increasing buildup of blueberry juice inside her. 💦 As a result, her anatomy continues to grow larger and rounder, gradually taking on the distinctive spherical shape of a giant blueberry, 🔵 just like in the iconic scene from the 2005 movie (the best reference). 👀🎬
⚠️ We want to remind you (just like we mentioned in the previous post) that this isn’t the final render! — it’s an early preview that allows us to make sure everything is working properly. At this stage, we can verify that the animation, materials and textures are displaying correctly, ensure that there are no export issues and get a closer look at how the final animation will look once it’s rendered using Cycles in Blender (this time). 💻
This workflow helps us avoid having to pre-render the entire sequence if something doesn’t look right later on. ✅ The next step will be to render the scene with proper lighting and prepare all the render passes so we can integrate the real head into the 3D body — a process that will be done in Nuke (as usual). ⬇️Video Link⬇️
Thanks to your help, we’re able to bring this project to life! 💙 Stay tuned for more exciting blueberry content — and lots of love to everyone, kisses! 💋
