Roary The Racing Car Production Focus

Roary The Racing Car is a British production about a racing car and his friends. Chapman Entertainment, the creators of Roary and Fifi and the Flower Tots started the series in UK and it has now spread around the globe.

Roary was originally started as a stop motion TV series, it was decided that the use of 3D could be incorporated to be able to extend the possibilities beyond what could be done with real models. Studio Liddell in England was called apon to build the entire Roary set and characters in 3DS Max. The difficulty of this task is it would need to match the live stop motion models exactly and be able to animate and render exactly the same as the filmed version. TV episodes would be using both methods mixed together so any change from one to the other would stand out.
