In Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Strange World”, the character Splat presented unique artistic requirements posing computational challenges. We present solutions to two of these: a chromatic edge along the outer rim of the character, and an efficient, deforming heterogeneous volume for the inner glow within Splat.
