Nicolas D'Amore has finished his three year solo project and I'm very impressed by the result.
Hello everyone!
This is a short animation that I've been working on for almost three years.
It's about Spiderman in a city, jumping and doing some acrobatics.
It started just as an animation exercise, after doing the "Blender Animation Pipeline" training at the Blender Institute at the end of 2012 with Beorn Leonard, Pablo Vazquez and Francesco Siddi as teachers (yes, CAMINANDES team!), but then it became more and more complicated and exciting for me, so I've decided to do a short video, adding a whole city!
Everything in this project was done in Blender, and I did it all by myself, except for the people models (Blendswap) and the vehicles (tf3dm.com). Credits are at the end of the video.
I've used Cycles for the render, but internal for the smoke.
I must thank Pablo Vazquez and Sebastian König who helped me at the beginning of the project, and a HUGE THANKS goes to Francesco Siddi, who really helped me a lot, especially during the last months of this project. Without him I would never have finished it!
I've used a sun lamp for illumination with an HDRI image for the sky (from cgskies.com)
I have an Intel i7-3930K with 12 threads, and a GeForce GTX Titan (I use Linux), and yet some frames took up to 45 minutes to render!It has cost me a big effort to complete this project.
I hope you like it!

Holy Cow! That was awesome!!!!
Killer video man
Very nice, fluid movement
nice, but is anyone else wondering, how did he do the web slingers ?
Hey Adrian, for the web I used curves with its sliders hooked to bones, then I animated those bones.
Nicolas.
thanks, nice vid :D
Thanks a lot guys!
This looks great!
It rather sad that this looks visually better than the 3D Cartoon rendered with the big budget.
Thanks Billdstrong!
That is also the power of Blender! :)
3 years???!?!??!?!!!
