Checkers "Planet"
Checkers
Planet
In our own creative way we are chuffed to support Checkers’ message for planet sustainability. The Chocolate Tribe team pushed photo-realism in creating this ground-breaking ad that features 3 fully CG creatures, and that are anatomically accurate in design. An incredible feat to groom 5 million to 10 million hair strands
for the polar bear and orangutan. Fur simulation for the orangutan and polar bear were done in Maya XGen. Muscle simulation in Ziva Dynamics. It was awesome to work with Bioscope Films and 99 Cents.
