  1. Making Movies CS 445/645 Fall 2001

  2. Assignment 4, part 2 • How is this done in hardware? • Interpolate reflection vectors across polygon surface • Compute cube environment intersection for each relection vector • Assign polygon texture according to cube face texture map

  3. Assignment 4, part 2 • How is this different from what we do • We compute texture vertices and linearly interpolate across texture • Which is faster?

  4. Extra Credit Assignment • Write a ray tracer from scratch • IMPORTANT – DON’T USE THE WEB FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT! • Archaeologists foundthis relic from my 1993ray tracing assignment

  5. Raytracer Specs • Render 6 polygons and 6 spheres • Use multiple colors • Specular and diffuse lighting effects • Must demonstrate object -> object shadows • Sphere to sphere • Sphere to polygon • Polygon to sphere • Polygon to polygon

  6. Making Movies • Concept • Storyboarding • Sound • Character Development • Layout and look • Effects • Animation • Lighting

  7. Concept • Pixar’s Lasseter is a genius – “Nothing gets in the way of the story”

  8. Storyboarding • Explicitly define • Scenes • Camera shots • Special effects • Lighting • Scale • Used as guide by animators

  9. Sound • Voice recording of talent completed before animation begins • Animations must match the voice over • A puppeteer once told me that the voice makes or breaks a character

  10. Character Development • 300 Drawings

  11. Character Development • 40 Sculptures

  12. Character Development • Computer Models

  13. Layout and Look • Build scenery • Match colors

  14. Matchmoving • CG camera must exactly match the real camera • Position • Rotation • Focal length • Aperature • Easy when camera is instrumented • Hard to place CG on moving objects on film

  15. Matchmoving

  16. Matchmoving • Square patterns in live action made it easier to track – furniture, wall paper • 2D – 3D conversion in Maya

  17. Water

  18. Particle Sim and Indentation

  19. Tools

  20. Compositing

  21. Compositing • Lighting

  22. Facial Animation

  23. Facial Animation

  24. Fur

  25. Cloth

  26. Buttons and Creases

  27. Texture

  28. Companies • Pixar • Disney • Sony Imageworks • Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) • Rhythm and Hues • Pacific Data Images(PDI) • Dreamworks SKG • Tippett Studios • Angel Studios • Blue Sky • Robert Abel and Associates • Giant Studios

  29. Toy Story (1995) • 77 minutes long; 110,064 frames • 800,000 machine hours of rendering • 1 terabyte of disk space • 3.5 minutes of animation produced each week (maximum) • Frame render times: 45 min – 20 hours • 110 Suns operating 24-7 for rendering • 300 CPU’s

  30. Toy Story • Texture maps on Buzz: 189 • (450 to show scuffs and dirt) • Number of animation ‘knobs’ • Buzz – 700 • Woody – 712 • Face – 212 • Mouth – 58 • Sid’s Backpack - 128

  31. Toy Story • Number of leaves on trees – 1.2 mil • Number of shaders – 1300 • Number of storyboards – 25,000

  32. Toy Story 2 • 80 minutes long, 122,699 frames • 1400 processor renderfarm • Render time of 10 min to 3 days • Direct to video film

  33. Toy Story 2 • Software tools • Alias|Wavefront • Amazon Paint • RenderMan

  34. Newman! • Subdivision-surfaces • Polygonal hair (head) • Texture mapped on arms • Sculpted clothes • Complex shaders

  35. Devil’s in the Details • Render in color • Convert to NTSC B/W • Add film effects • Jitter • Negative scratches • Hair • Static

  36. Images

  37. Images

  38. Images

  39. Stuart Little • 500 shots with digital character • 6 main challenges • Lip sync • Match-move (CG to live-action) • Fur • Clothes • Animation tools • Rendering, lighting, compositing

  40. Stuart Little • 100+ people worked on CG • 32 color/lighting/composite artists • 12 technical assistants • 30 animators • 40 artists • 12 R&D

  41. Shooting Film For CG • Actors practice with maquettes • Maquettes replaced with laser dots • lasers on when camera shutter is closed • After each take, three extra shots • chrome ball for environment map for Stuart’s eyes • white and gray balls for lighting info

  42. Match-moving • Film scanned • Camera tracking data retrieved • 3D Equalizer + Alias Maya to prepare (register) the digital camera • Once shot is prepared, 2D images rendered and composited with live action

  43. Making Movies • Production Team • Production Line • Special Effects

  44. Production Team • Directors • Modelers • Lighting • Character Animators • Technical Directors • Render Wranglers • Tools Developers • Shader Writers • Effects Animators • Looks Team • Security Officer • Janitor • Lackey
