Hi Guys,

I am very happy to show you my latest short film: Reebot.

The story of a very friendly little robot, who only wants attention from his human coworkers.

Give me your feedback!

Nice =)

Amazing, the robot reminds me a lot to Wall-E

Great work!
Nothing to add or to remove from it, beautiful!

Hi Guys,

thank you all for your messages, I really apreciate. It is really touching coming from very apppreciated and talented people like you.

As for the technical stuff:
Of course, only the robot was rendered with octane, all the rest is live plate shot with a canon 5D III.
The render kernel is the simple direct light, with the diffuse and spec depth at 8. It really works very well.
Render times were about 5 min for the large shots and 20 min max for the closeups. It was rendered with bi 780 and bi 680.
I think we used the 1.20a version of octane for maya.
But, the aov process was a very tedious task. I had to manage all the rendering passes with different scenes, because of the renderlayers not working.
We did shadows, ids, sometimes spec, depth and normal passes.
But octane is so good that, most of the time, the color pass was enough to work with.

Special thanks to Jimstar and the octane render team for the support they brought us.

Thanks again guys

Cute movie, I like it Poor little thing. But what is he trying to advertise, give away? A robotic gift?
