Rhythm & Hues has adopted MARI as its primary paint tool

Studio Rhythm & Hues has chosen The Foundry’s MARI as its primary paint tool. Jack Greasley, MARI Product Manager at The Foundry comments: ”We are excited that Rhythm & Hues have decided to use MARI as its 3D paint and texturing tool. I have been working with them for some time to help them to understand just how powerful and flexible MARI is. It literally breaks off the shackles of monotonous procedures and lets artists get down to being truly creative.” Rhythm & Hues are already using MARI on a number of projects in production including RIPD, Seventh Son, and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Going forward they will use MARI on all new shows.

MARI is a 3D digital paint tool capable of handling vast numbers of pixels. It allows artists to concentrate on painting detailed, multi-layered textures directly onto 3D models in a fluid and natural way. MARI 1.4v3 was released in March 2012 and is used extensively by cutting edge artists at a variety of major film studios and post production houses worldwide. A new version of MARI will be launching this summer.
