Finally! Another post! I recently received the final ad images that I posed and rendered the Michelin Man into. It was a simple workflow, pose the Michelin Man, set up different render layers (fill light, key light, main, eye, reflection, etc) and tweak it like crazy in photoshop. He’s such a happy puffy man…. More to come!

I was not responsible for the ad design, just incorporating Michelin Man .

Finally! I have dug through the vastness of that which are the servers at Pixel Farm and have uploaded two Michelin Man spots I worked on in August. In the maintenance garage spot I animated Michelin Man in every shot except the tool hand off. In the pump spot I animated Michelin when he walks behind the far gas pump and when he grabs the nozzle. I also built the gas nozzle in 3D and animated its base timing. Enjoy!
