Blender and the Rabbids:

Rabbids Invasion - Mission to Mars

A Blender User Story, with a presentation of the tools and pipeline that were used went Ubisoft Shot Manager was created.

This 1:30 hour long episode of the Rabbids Invation series was the first one to use Blender. I was in charge of the technical supervision of the previz and I designed and developed Shot Manager to set up a fast and iterative pipeline to offer the director more time for creativity.

The episode received an International Emmys nomination in the Kis Animation category in 2022.
