This is one of two scenes that I created for a promotional video for one of Nextreme’s products. Since Nextreme builds tiny components that are attached to microprocessors it was not feasible to shoot video of the process, so I was asked to create 3d animations to illustrate how their product works. I did all of the modeling, lighting, animation and rendering in Lightwave 3d. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the texture maps. To create the text overlays and heating/cooling graphics on the chip board I used Adobe After Effects.
