Uncanny Valley

by 3dar from Argentina

In its day-to-day business, 3dar from Buenos Aires works on advertising projects for well-known clients such as Sony, Dell and many more. However, the team prefers to realise experimental private projects, including gaining experience with VR projects and developing a virtual reality soccer game. Independently of this, however, the idea for “Uncanny Valley” had already been conceived. The team shot the aerial shots of the destroyed city with a BMD pocket camera on a drone in the Argentinian ghost town of Epecuén, which sank into the lake for 25 years in 1985 due to unusually heavy rainfall. The scenes on the alien planet were filmed in green screen with one actor. The software pipeline consisted of 3ds Max, ZBrush, Maya, Houdini, V-Ray, After Effects and Nuke.
