Shanghai Bingo Digital-Media
Technology Co. Ltd. is a group
composed of young artists devoted
to developing CG arts. All members
of the team have a wide range of
experience in processing CG movies
and cartoons. Within a year Bingo
had prestige in the industry and
quickly collected briefs from
‘Fudan Shangke’ & ‘Coca
Cola’. Subsequently,
they now work for
worldwide well-known
companies such as
‘News QQ’, ‘Maiken
Light’ and more...
Interview Bingo Digital
Thanks for taking the time out to talk with us.

Can we begin by finding out a little about how
everything started for Bingo Digital? Who were
the founders? What was their vision? And how
far have you come to achieving this today?

everyday. Mostly we studied our 3D skills by ourselves. Sometimes our company

also provides courses for newcomers and trains them in the knowledge of our
working production pipeline.
Let’s talk Coca Cola! What a great client, you must have been very happy to get
them on board. We have seen some of your amazing characters posted on
the Net, so can you tell us a bit about the brief Coca Cola set you and
what the future holds?
Thanks for your kind words; when
Coca Cola (China) contacted
us, Bingo was just a studio
in an apartment. We were
astonished at their invitation as
we had been mainly focusing on
technological testing, instead
of doing public promotions at
that time. Coca Cola said their cooperative
providers, and other large CG
companies in China, could not
undertake this project because
of the time limit and high quality that was

required. They heard from these companies that

Bingo had the abilities to execute this project.
Although Bingo had just become established,
the team members are the best of the best in
this field, so we were given this project and
delivered it successfully, on time. Finally we
received the accreditation from Coca Cola. In
April 2006, Bingo formally became the visual
products provider for Coca Cola, China. We
keep supplying their prime visual products and

provide for their advertisement requirements.
Later we will release the Coca Cola TV advert
for the traditional Chinese Spring Festival.
Your images have been appearing on the

front pages of big CG sites, as well as in many
forums. Have you noticed that this additional
exposure has helped your business and brought
in new work?
Keeping at the top position in CG websites is
quite helpful to our public promotion. It makes
Bingo well known across the globe. The most
important effect of Bingo is that lots of young
CG-ers in China now are dreaming of joining
Bingo. In this respect, we also hope to achieve
cooperation with other companies to open up
new business opportunities.
What advice do you have for young “CG-ers”?

Keep passionate, if the chances are a hundred
to one against you, you just need to try harder
until you succeed!
What is the CG industry like in China, and what

direction is it heading?
CG currently has wide prospects in China.
Recently, the central government of China

issued coherent policies to support the domestic

game, animation and multi-media industry. We
have also gained support from the Shanghai
municipal government. With the coming of
a new era in the game industry, numerous
large-scale game production companies have
established their studios in Shanghai, such as
EA, UBI, Epic and 2K. China will soon be full
www.3dcreativemag.com page 10 Issue 017 January 2007

of opportunities in employment and business

cooperation in this industry. On the other
hand, China is boosting its cultural industry
giving potential to many markets. Shanghai,
for example, has greatly strengthened its
cooperation with the world and issued some
preferential policies for its development in
financial and business commerce.

That’s great to hear, it sounds like the industry

is really taking off. What about the educational
side of things, are universities and colleges
doing their part with suitable new courses?
Lately we are keeping in touch with universities
and colleges, trying to find out where their
strengths and weaknesses are. We have done a
lot of things already for education and maybe in
the future, universities and colleges will add our
courses too.
Can you tell us about any new projects you are

working on now, and what you are aiming to
achieve for in Bingo’s future?
At the present stage we are producing game
tests and cut scene animations for the next
generation platforms. These animations mainly
focus on the mainstream game engine, such
as XBOX 360 and PS3. At the same time
we are undertaking an advertising project for
Volkswagen and this project will also be finished
soon. We have already set-up a CG education
centre, in conjunction with Shanghai Multi-Media
Industrial Park, with the hope of sharing our
experiences with those who want to engage in
this industry. Each of the training periods is up
to 7 months and the first-stage of the training
period has already begun.

3DCreative have teamed
up with 3dtotal.com and
design studio press to give
you a preview of some
fantastic books on offer.
This Month; Quantum Dreams.
“There’s something almost uncanny in seeing things you’ve
imagined, and only described in words, depicted. It’s even
more unsettling to see them depicted more clearly and
vividly and accurately than you imagined them. Stephan
Martiniere’s covers for my books have that effect on me.
They look as if he has taken a camera and a sketchbook to
these very worlds, and has seen more of them than I did.
We should all be grateful for Martiniere’s mind’s eye.”
– Ken MacLeod , author, The Cassini Division and the
trilogy, The Engines of Light
“Stephan isn’t just a stunning illustrator, he is truly a

designer, with a great sense of harmony and style. He can
create extremely organic objects or creatures as well as
the most stylistic architecture of today and tomorrow.”
– Patrick Tatopoulos production designer, I, Robot, Dark
City, Independence Day
“I find the uniqueness of his vision and confidence of his

presentation endlessly fascinating and inspiring. We are
fortunate that Stephan’s skills allow us to experience his
fantastic imagination and all of his worlds.”
– Ryan Church, concept design supervisor, Star Wars III
QUANTUM DREAMS: The Art of Stephan Martiniere,

is a collection of his sci-fi book cover paintings, video
game designs and personal art. Stephan takes others’
descriptions of faraway, imaginary realms...and makes
them real. Stephan’s career has taken him from France to
Japan to California, where he has worked in the fields of
animation, concept art, theme park motion ride design,
video games and book cover art. He helped design the
worlds of I, Robot and Star Wars Episodes II and III , and
with his book covers makes fantasy worlds come to life
with a single image. QUANTUM DREAMS contains 130
illustrations, including supporting sketches and early
versions of finished pieces, with descriptions that give you
an inside look into Stephan’s creativity and process.

Tuc Tuc Is our new precise, step-by-step

tutorial which will begin with a vehicle model
and cover the principals of applying shaders,
placing it in a simple scene & following with a
two part section on both lighting and rendering.
The tutorial will begin by creating and applying
materials for the various parts of the car such as
glass, chrome & tyres as well as texturing some
simple geometry that will make up a scene. It
will then move onto lighting where the focus will
be on setting up a lighting rig and the various
parameters connected to this. Finally the series
will culminate with a section on rendering where
the aim will be to finish with a polished image.
