“We did some crazy stuff where we were making games of these Mulefa worlds, and making Land Rovers, drones, and helicopters and flying around with them creating shots. It was the most fun that I’ve had on the show.” - Erica McEwan, Painting Practice creative director for 🌿

The Cardiff-based design studio, led by co-founders Joel Collins and Daniel May, along with McEwan, produced visdev, previs, artvis, and UI design, along with virtual scouting, on HBO’s fantasy drama, based on Philip Pullman’s award-winning book trilogy of the same name.

It is so exciting to see our name in this months' issue of Broadcast magazine.

We spent the last 6 years working with production designer Joel Collins on His Dark Material's vast design overview, from season 1 to the very last episode of season 3.
That included concept art, but also pre-visualization with the Directors and VFX Supervisors, Motion Graphics for the titles and many more diverse skills used throughout the show.

It has been an incredible journey which also helped us develop and explore new ways of filmmaking and visualisation, such as our virtual production methods used on complex sets like the Mulefa world.

Our team is so happy to see the work they did being recognised! Have a read of the article in our stories 📰

We gave our most experienced Art Director Raf, who had never used Unreal Engine(and is generally not a huge fan of 3D) a task: try out UE5 with our new PLAN V TOOLS 2.0 and CHARACTER POSE TOOL. Result? He managed to create this wonderful piece of concept art in a few hours only, starting from a KitBash3D sandbox level!

Other artists in our studio will be trying this fun new experiment and we cannot wait to show you the results and sped up run-throughs!

And yes, this is our way to announce that PLAN V TOOLS 2.0, Unreal Engine 5.1 compatible is coming out soon! With a new character pose add-on as well as improved experience and tools.

Stay tuned for more news.
