The Mischievous Bears Re-rendering

I just completed the High-Definition re-rendering of The Mischievous Bears short animated movie. The process went smoother than I expected it to, considering the assets I was using were 15 years old, and plus, I haven’t really worked with 3ds Max in 10 years or so. It goes to show how little 3ds Max has changed after all of these years.

This is a list of changes made to the original 2003 movie:

• Rendered in full 16:9 1080p.
• The bear’s fur is now modeled with 3ds Max’s built-in hair and fur plugin.
• Changes to a few background objects.
• Improvements to some of the camera motion.
• Adjustments to some of the character animation.
• Sound effects are slightly altered and new ones are included.
• Inclusion of music, created with GarageBand.
• Inclusion of the animated M20 logo at the beginning of the movie.
• Altered camera movement in the opening shot.
