La Cabane and Thuristar completed the carbon footprint calculation of their last production, and the encouraging results are rewarding for the whole team! Mush-Mush season 2 was the first long-form series to be produced using Unreal Engine in Europe, and we hope that providing this calculation will be useful data for the industry.
Carbon footprint: 91tCO2eq (detailed in picture above), calculated using the Carbulator tool developed by AnimFrance.
