Angelo and the Forest Where Technology Meets Fantasy 🌲
The story of Angelo begins like many family trips: with distracted parents on their phones and a child who ends up where he shouldn't. But when this little aspiring explorer ventures into the forest, he discovers a world that would make the best 3D designers pale. What starts as a simple shortcut turns into an adventure that will soon hit the screens with Into the Wonderwoods. 🎬
From Paper to Cinema, Passing Through Rendering
This peculiar cinematic adaptation comes from the comic by Vincent Paronnaud (aka Winshluss), who together with Alexis Ducord has turned the pages into:
- A 100% digital movie competing in Cannes and Annecy
- A visual festival where every leaf and creature comes to life in 3D
- The next release that digital art lovers won't want to miss
And all thanks to some forgetful parents who inspired this visual odyssey. Who said distraction couldn't be artistic?
The Technological Arsenal Behind the Magic
To create this dreamlike world, the team turned to tools that would make any digital artist happy:
- Maya and Blender to shape characters and environments
- Substance Painter for textures that beg to be touched
- Houdini simulating every movement of the forest
- Arnold and Nuke for the final touch

Where to Enjoy This Visual Wonder
Spectators will be able to venture into this digital forest through:
- Release on digital platforms on June 24
- Special screenings at film festivals
- And probably, at some point, on your neighbor's screen
In the meantime, 3D artists continue to dissect every frame of the trailer, trying to figure out how to recreate that magical atmosphere without their computers declaring thermal independence. 🔥
And as the popular wisdom of the forums aptly points out: If your parents abandon you in the middle of nowhere, at least make sure it's in a place with good lighting to capture HD textures. You never know when you might sell them as assets. 😉
