Shot 1

This is one of the first establishing shots of the main characters the Cat and Rat. I did the really quick animation for this shot. It was then that we discovered that this cat rig could not lie down, nor could it bend its head properly.

We also had a problem rendering the characters in Vray. So for this shot they weren't rendered in Vray whilst we tried to sort out as to why they weren't rendering properly. When rendered in Vray the cat and rat just disappeared.

We were still working out kinks with these renders, Vray proved a lot of hassle but it was the only way we could render with textures and have a thick line outline for the effect we wanted.
