The Vine FX team worked closely with Producers Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy on shots ranging from fully CG creatures and environments to battle scenes, matte paintings and fx.

The second series looks and feels cinematic with fully 3D environments extending the scale of the scenes, immersing the viewer in the drama and enriching their experience of the mythological city.

Atlantis is alive with CG creatures in Episodes 1 and 2 with a flying dragon-like Harpie, modeled in Zbrush and rigged using in-house character pipeline, and the Cyclops with its complex skin textures created using Mari and Zbrush, hair generated in Yeti, and all rendered in Arnold with Vine FX custom shaders.
CG Environments include a network of city streets, a kit of Atlantian houses, Royal palaces, Temples, Courtyard and an amphitheatre.
