Production Log #12

April 17th, 2023
Andy Goralczyk
Andy Goralczyk Lighting and Compositing
Simon Thommes

I created additional post-file-generation hooks for the shot builder add-on to speed up the generation of lighting files. Render layers and passes are procedurally set up to allow compositing of the outlines into the shots. The builder also links in a bunch of helper objects and nodes that Simon set up for lighting and outline generation. Everything is brought together in the compositor with some utility comp nodes.

This week I spent mostly on technical setup, such as discussing the lighting and compositing pipeline with Andy and fixing some of our pipeline add-ons in python. Other than that I focused mainly on the dog's face to render the expressions that Pablo has been working on.

This week I spend some more time with character expressions to help fine tune them for the ongoing pose library efforts and took a closer look at the rocket exterior that is currently being finalized by Beau.
