What
Feature Animation
Who
Production: New Line Cinema
VFX: Meteor Studios
Rigging supervisor: Frederic Fortin
Where
Syflex: Where was Syflex used?
Frederic Fortin: On Journey to the center of the earth, my team used Syflex for both skin and cloth simulations.
A combination of Syflex skin solver over a CMuscle system was used for the T-rex,
while all CG stunt doubles (free fall and mine cart sequences)
were entirely dressed with Syflex: clothings, backpacks and hair...
In fact it worked so well, we even used cloth simulations for some shots to add
interactive lighting on live-action characters!
Syflex is the perfect tool to add that little touch of realism you need for you characters.
Syflex: Did you already have experience with Syflex?
Frederic Fortin: I actually had a crash course with Andrea Merlo and Jeff Martin
at Weta on The Return of the King.
I also used the first Houdini built at Core Feature Animation, for Misclenious R&Ds.
And many times at Meteor Studios!
Syflex is definitely a tool I enjoy working with.
