3D Animation

Photorealistic or not, Marte takes the look and feel of each project to a unique level. The animation staff tries to incorporate every drop of new knowledge into every project, so that no matter the budget, it always incorporates an aura of innovation. In contrast with most companies, Marte has a staff that is multidisciplinary. Each member of the team takes part as often as possible in most of the steps of the production process, allowing them to focus always on the big picture instead of working aimlessly in a single specialized task.

Due to Latin America's struggling economy, MarteStudio generally deals with projects that are very tight both in schedules and budgets. Yet the need to create the best images is universal and usually not limited by anything other than the talents of the artists. This particular situation has allowed Marte to participate in the most ambitious projects with a frequency that other studios can only dream of. In this process, MarteStudio has gained plenty of experience in the most advanced techniques and at the same time has become expert in the art of making the best out of a budget no matter its size.

Thanks to its renaissance philosophy of work, 3D animations made in MarteStudio enjoy the benefit of 2D flexibility for character and motion design. At the same time, 2D animators have the know how to participate in the 3D animation process. This leads to works that not only have appealing characters and motions, but that are lit, shaded and optimized for the best technical quality.

Marte currently has a network of 14 computers and a base team of 6 animators working on a daily basis on 3D and VFX projects. This is generally enough to handle most projects. But the evolution of digital cinematography keeps these figures changing in order to meet the newer demands of increasingly more sophisticated projects.

Animators also have a wide variety of tools, including proprietary ones, that allow them to be free from the limitations of one specific software for accomplishing a task. During its 5 year existence, Marte has created tools and methods to allow different programs to work with the same data. All this reflects in the final quality of an animation and the speed at which it is made.
