I just found out about the movie Troll so I decided to quickly look clips of it. Compared to the troll in that movie, the mountain troll in this feels far more convincing. You can really feel the size and scale of this thing, the way it moves and the fact that it's hunchback really show how heavy this thing is. Also, you can really tell how ancient and elderly it is just from looking at it. Obviously, Troll isn't trying to go for realism since people have said it's a generic kaiju film just with a Troll, but it really makes me appreciate this movie, especially with it having a lower budget.

That troll was definitely the most impressive looking effect in the whole movie. Not only the look, but also the animation which made it look heavy, unlike many other computer generated creatures on film. Perhaps the movements should have been even slower, but it looked good as it was. Good integration of the various parts too - especially when you consider the considerable amount of time the troll was onscreen. Good work.

i agree

You guys did an awesome job on this, with a relatively small team, amazing.

I just saw this on demand last night. Now I want the blu-ray version to come out so I can go thru frame by frame... this kicked ass

@thetripodification We used Maya for modelling, Zbrush for sculpting, Maya for animation, Houdini for dynamics, Mantra(Houdini) for rendering, Syntheyes for tracking and Nuke for compositing.

and i thought i was going to see a documentary in the theatre.

The SFX in this movie are amazing.

fantastic!

@shaunberry1982 Sorry to say but Max was not used in the production of this trolls animation. Maya and Motionbuilder were the weapons of choice. Though there are one other troll in the movie (wich we did not create) that were done in Max.

Amazing movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It is a shame they are remaking it here in the US. This is so good as-is.

Love song!

I love Norway, trolls and edvard grieg. The only thing this movie lacks is some blackmetal. But it still blows your head.

@Gimpville Hey i just saw the movie and i gotta say i was impressed. But i'm wondering were the hair and muscle systems also done in Maya? I know you said you used Houdini for dynamics but when i think dynamics i think of cloth and other vfx so sorry if i am making you repeat yourself.

Thanks :)

@FractalBolt "The march of the trolls", by Edvard Grieg (quite obvious...). It is usually played faster on piano, and is also known as march of the dwarves.

@TFnemesis95 We used Maya for modelling, Zbrush for sculpting, Maya for animation, Houdini for dynamics, Mantra(Houdini) for rendering, Syntheyes for tracking and Nuke for compositing.

The intro songs is the ''c4 song'' in the game Splinter Cell :D

Badass.

Awesome vid!!! What software did u use?

@jippiandy What I mean is that it's great to see that these kinds of movies are finally being produced in Scandinavia. Monster movies are rarely produced here, and I guess that's been a budget issue. But with this and Rare Exports and Let the right one in things are looking brighter :)

500 million polys was reached through zbrush´s "HD sculpt" and a very highres displacementmap. It was rendered in Mantra (Houdini), wich enables it to render with less than 6 GB of ram even with this kind of polycount.

500million polygons! NICEE

Finally it's reached Scandinavia.

Norway for ya

@devianaut yeah. I don't really care about the lenght as long as it keeps me entertained through the whole thing

@PBdarkraptor the originl is called REC

@martinmegazor what do you mean "FINALLY IT'S REACHED SCANDINAVIA"?

Why didn't you just use live trolls for the movie?

that is some hardcore shit you got there

@Gimpville holy crap.

500 MILLION POLYGONS. Wow...

Thanks! Yes the tracking was no walk in the park.. Tons of movement combined with the desolated and snowcovered landscape really is´nt the ideal footage for tracking :)

where can i see the film?

BREAKDOWN JOTNE

I would like to watch this movie, where can I find it , rent it or buy it

It reminds me Shadow of the Colossus a little bit...

What are all the programs u used

I new the the troll hurt his hand with his hand touch the sharp danger and rocket one trolls body

BREAKDOWN JOTNAR

@cervisa3 Ikke helt sikker på hva du hinter til her? Dette er kannalen til GImpville, en av norges største VFX hus. Så ja, vi er både profesjonelle og i flertall.

Var det ikke slik at det er tre forskjellige firma som ansvar for hver sin trollscene?

@BeastlyRig where?

@devianaut it only last 1 and a half hour. There are many movies released today that last 2 hours

500 Million Polygons? How much RAM do you need/have?

now ive seen the movie

sez

@Fredrik951753 Bästa effekterna i en film från Skandinavien!
