Benjamin Button'un tuhaf hikayesi filminde görmüştük yıllar önce, tabi zaman geçtikçe yöntemler geliştirilip daha etkili olarak kullanılabiliyor. Filmin 3d-mocap haricinde kalan, oyuncuların yüzlerini gördüğümüz kısımlarda da dijital rötuş başarılı bir şekilde kullanılmıştı.
Orjinal videoya vimeo sayfasından ulaşılabilir. Burada sürece ve nasıl çalışıldığına dair bilgiler var.
A brief description of the technical details:
Shot and processed at 6K in EXR, on my old i7-2670QM 2.20 GHz Laptop ( what a stupid idea )
Dealing with vector paint and spline nodes was tough. Endless pre-rendering and rendering!
Software Utilized:
1. Nuke, for the 2D work on the bodies and faces.
2. Mocha for some tracking.
3. Photoshop, for painting the young/old beard and body hair.
4. Maya 3D, for Adam's hair, the crystal snake, and the leaves.
5. After Effects, for color and finishing.
For this test, I had to figure how to make some basic 3D animation/ rigging, and 3D hair grooming. However, the bodies and the faces are done only with 2D techniques. I painted tiny details such as the pores of the skin...but they don't really show in this resized Vimeo version. Due to the zero 3D skills I had during the filming period, I decided to keep the action in the shots fairly simple. Additional hair for Adam's hairline was painted directly in Nuke...It was "fun".The time lapse of the rotting apple took nearly 3 months.
