How did Peter Rabbit get his fur coat? Or his iconic blue denim jacket? And how were millions and millions of bricks realised and rendered for the LEGO movies?
Those key elements would not be possible without Animal Logic’s technology framework and a dedicated team behind it. Indeed, ever since its inception in 1991, the studio has been an innovator in building tools and maintaining a pipeline that has allowed creativity to thrive in its projects. This includes specific tools needed for CG creatures like feathers and fur and the development of Animal Logic’s own path tracer, Glimpse.
Welcome to the second piece in 3D World’s in-depth look at Animal Logic, which features just some of the team involved in developing and maintaining the vital animation and VFX technology, as well as looking ahead to what new areas are key for the studio.
