You may remember earlier in the year we posted a photo of a piece of concept art from Up, depicting Carl Fredericksen standing in his house with fighter planes attacking it.
That image has now been rendered in 3D by the talented artists at Pixar, which you can view in an super-high-res, which can be downloaded here, as it is approx. 24MB in size. It’s complete resolution is 8188×8298px. Alternatively, you can view it in a number of smaller sizes and resolutions here.
Up is directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, and is set for release May 29, 2009.
I think it may be primarily a 2d painting. It definitely does look 3d but when I zoom in on the high res version it looks 2d. Take a look at Carl’s hand up close.
Up is actually begin directed by PETE DOCTER and Bob Peterson not the aformentioned helmer of Toy Story 3. Also Up is beign released on May 29 NOT the 27th.
Thanks anonymous. With all this news, dates and people get mixed up in my mind.
I don’t know if you noticed but in the bottom part it says “generated from element UP DCA project”. Doesn’t DCA stand for Disney California Adventure?
Rendered in 3D? Zoom in – looks more like it was rendered in Photoshop.
I’m glad that for once the main character isn’t a teen or twenty year old. I was just thinking to myself “why is it that every main disney character has to be young?”. I’m sure older people can have adventure too. Bravo Pixar!
Wow, that looks interesting. I ALSO noticed the ‘DCA’ thing on the photo. Could Pixar be thinking of possibly updated the ride video for ‘Soarin Over California’? It would make sense! Maybe you will be in the house floating around a fictional world! That would be awesome.
