Production Log #45

  • May 10th, 2021
This week on Sprite Fright

Animation production begins with an action sequence in the middle of the film. Victoria’s hair is completely re-groomed, tiny differences in shading are compared across renders, and extra slime is added to snails. Other details are also refined: moss, ripped clothes, and emission is included in the Sprites' faces.

This week was occupied with two main tasks: Hair-styling Victoria and helping Paul (TD) and Simon to test and debug the caching workflow. While I ended up spending most on the time on caching, I managed to rework Victoria's hair completely based on the sculpting template from Julien.

Apart from hunting down and trying to elimiate issues with the caching pipeline, I did a bunch of smaller shading updates and tests and worked on the moss to make it look more soft.
