Robin Konieczny and Matt Westrup are the two halves that make up a whole Asylum. Aside from extensive work they've done for themselves, they are also prolific modellers and animators for Passion Pictures. We have a chat with them about their workflow, what plug-ins they use and how they came to work with one of London's foremost studios...

It's cool isn't it? Make sure you check out Matt's missiles piece (the second anim on the page) - that's the one he's talking about with hypervoxel explosions, they really do look superb!

oO sweet!
you know you just cut off alot of time from my typing... lol

i just got the gorillaz dvd (a few dayz ago) and it's hella sweet :)
specially the live concert footage (if you put it on angle 6, you'll see the whole song in 3d, instead of it with the crowd) and i was gonna type about it... but eh, i figured someone would at one point or another (and to think that i was just about to talk about the south park box set):rolleyes:
