Studios using 3ds Max and FumeFX

#1

Hello,

I have been trying to find out the FX studios worldwide that
a) Use 3ds max as the primary app and
b) Use plugins such as FumeFX/Afterburn/Krakatoa etc.

So far all i know of is Frantic, Digital Dimension, Blur and Uncharted Territory.
Just wondering if anyone knew of any others?
Thought it might be handy for the community to know the Max/fume based studios out there.

Cheers :slight_smile:

(ha ha wreath, I was just talking to Allan about piximondo)

Keep in mind that alot of places don’t just use one ‘primary app’. But yeh it would be interesting to know.

I thought Scanline used Flowline for their fluid sim needs (could be wrong though)…

#7

Ubisoft Digital Arts(in Montreal) uses FumeFX, Afterburn and Krakatoa.

#8

I know quite a few post houses got max lics for just fume/krakatoa/afterburn stuff.

Sure Scanline uses Flowline but for some shots (i.e Planecrash in the german movie Mogadishu) they used FumeFX/TP3 for the Dust.

Here, Encore Hollywood.
We are 3ds max + Fusion house mainly work for episodic TV.
Our main show is House, M.D. All vfx in House since season 1 have done with 3ds max.

I believe Plastic Wax in Sydney also use 3ds max, Fume and Afterburn for some of their stuff.

#12

EdenFX uses Max just for VFX work (Thinking Particles, FumeFX), even though they are mainly a Lightwave house

#13

We use Max with FumeFX, Krakatoa, Afterburn and Pflow for most of our FX work.

Frantic Films is a Max house (for most of their work. Maya among others is used too however…) that provides its own line of max plugins too.
