Creature FX, that sounds pretty cool. Does Maya Muscle get used much or is it all in-house tools?

Framestore has a sizable R&D team, so it's best they're used user added image

Why the jump Jay?

hey John

Modelling has run out on the show, so instead of being out of a contract I moved departments instead.

Well they do have a sizeable R&D bunch but the stuff Im using is written by one guy for the specific task Im doing with him, its pretty damn cool and just goes beyond anything Ive seen over the years...

soooooooooooooooooooo...an update

Although Ive not posted in bloody ages, due to work. I actually shelved this project for a while until last september/october time due to time wasters saying they could do this and that with this as a tv show, movie blah blah blah...and then nothing. So being fed up I shelved it for a bit.

anyway things have kind of ramped up a little since my last post and this entire project has taken a turn toward realtime rendering. A friend and colleague returned from Weta Digital and kind of coaxed me back into life on the project and persuaded me to go down the route of using Unreal to do the rendering. We have now partnered up to create a teaser of the project which has in turn gotten noticed by Unreal themselves which has led to us being sponsored by them.

We have been hard at work writing and testing some VFX lighting GUIs inside of Unreal. Enhancing the HDRI usage and also the shader setup to match that of say Arnold and Renderman and not just out of the box Unreal. This has enabled us to achieve a more photoreal look on the materials lending itself now to VFX and not just games nor game cinematics, which do look stunning as Im sure most people here would agree. I know there are a couple of members using games engines here to do their own stuff, and it does look reallly cool.

What we are looking at is trying to move ahead and create the best possible content inside the Unreal Engine but using VFX techniques in realtime which in turn will enable us to cut out things like actual render time overheads. And also use minimal comping as well. Meetings have also been had with various VFX houses here in London who have in turn been stunned by the output using a VFX model and textures in realtime. We have kind of woken people up in a certain way....people are asking to join the project...!!!

Anyways I want to share this with you as some of you have been on this ride with me for a long time...

enjoy
