Our longstanding partnership with roger dubuis

Point Flottant has been working with luxury watchmaker Roger Dubuis for many years, and we were thrilled to collaborate on their latest project. We were asked to develop a captivating story and create a dynamic 3D animation to unveil their new iconic watch from the Knights Of The Round Table collection.

The story of the knights of the round table

Our team of creative minds came up with the idea of the Knights of the Round Table activating an ancient mechanism to alter gravity and move rocks, revealing the new watch. We carefully sculpted highly detailed Knights, using a custom-made gold shader in Arnold to create a realistic and intricate design. The shader allowed us to create a fluid transition between the rocky environment and the golden material of the Knights.

The final animation

Using the latest animation technology, we brought the story to life with engaging characters, realistic effects, and fluid motion. We added dramatic lighting effects to highlight the intricate design of the Knights, as well as VDB smoke simulation and particles to create a visually interesting atmosphere. The final animation was a stunning showcase of the new watch and the legend of the Knights of the Round Table. We are proud of the work we did for Roger Dubuis and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this exciting project.
