Hello everybody
Just wanted to let you all know there was a small featurette released on
vimeo - http://vimeo.com/49767597
We used nuke in the post-production process accompanied by a Python
based pipeline. The motion blur was done in post too using ReelSmart. I
made some custom lensflare, heathaze, etc nodes in Nuke so we could cut
out having to render those in the 3D package. The film being rendered in
stereo did add a level of complexity to the plugin creation, compositing
and pretty much everything else involved. And besides the rest of the
comp team and I roto-ing out spots of specular on leaves that "broke
stereo" the stereo experience was pretty amazing.
For the rest of the film, to quote the Technical Supervisor (Sandy
Sutherland):
"We finished the movie completely in Softimage rendered with Mental Ray,
it was a huge learning experience but given the size of Triggerfish, it
would not have been possible to have done this in any other software.
ICE is used extensively to create various assets and effects AND to fix
stuff - it certainly was a Swiss Army Knife for us.
Oh - the dust and smoke stuff was rendered with Fury from Exocortex -
feathers for Zam were done with MB_feathers which we built a pipeline
around to do caching to geometry for rendering."
