A lushly art-directed blend of detailed sets, miniatures, matte paintings and computer-generated visual effects all aiming to evoke the look of a 1930’s Paris film set, HUGO is a love letter to classic cinema and cinema history. Pixomondo, the lead visual effects studio, worked for over one year [color=#ff0000][i][b][size=5]to create around 800 shots using a number of Autodesk tools, including 3ds Max, Maya and MotionBuilder.[/size][/b][/i][/color]

Two main visual effects houses, Giant Studios (for pre-visualization) and Digital Domain (for the visual effects and animation work) [color=#ff0000][i][b]collaborated on Real Steel and shared a toolset that relied upon Autodesk Maya and MotionBuilder to create realistic and thrilling action, and a believable and captivating robot-human relationship.[/b][/i][/color]
