Introducing the CorlYorns: a fully 3d animated ”mafia family” style characters. Main concept was to achieve a look between video games (GTA Mafia references) and a more realistic and polished look. The whole project was made for a 40’ tv spot hi-res prints as well as web interface.
My part was all Lighting and Rendering, as well as some specific shading; compositing, hi-res rendering, Vfx (smoke, water fx) and last but not least physics simulations.
Please come back later for more info images and videos. Thanks.

I’ve also made a 2nd version of the spot, with different color correction, motion blur, chromatic aberration, lens distortion, optical flares and some more atmospheric elements as thin smoke.

Here are the poster renders i did for hi-res prints. I’ve included some of the fine details in each character. Great modeling and texturing from José Alves da Silva (aka Zeoyn). I then made lighting, some shading, rendering and photo retouching to add lots of details and subtleties in the final pieces.
Characters name by order of images:
Vito Corlyorn; Tito Corlyorn; Nonna Corlyorn
Salomé Corlyorn; Gito Corlyorn; Nina Corlyorn

This is just a small video included in the Corlyorn series. It’s supposed to work as the entry point in the website, such as entering the bar, or the roulette.
Hey there! Here are two smaller videos from some of the web interfaces. Each one has a specific purpose.
The Bar: Looping animations and each character performs with a mouse over action, and by clicking the user can interact more.
The Roulette: This is an interactive game.
Popularity: 42%
So cool! We could’ve done 100x better but hey, time constraints are the worst
Great Job!
