Abstract:
For Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 100th anniversary feature, the filmmakers wanted to honor the studio’s legacy with a stylized look that draws from the rich artistic heritage of Disney’s earliest films. In addition to the challenges of a highly art-directed stylized look, Asha’s hairstyle comprises a full head of long, thin, tightly-braided locks which was far more complex than our previous braid grooms. In order to art direct Asha’s stylized hair performance in “Wish”, several advancements were made in tools and workflows across the character departments for grooming, simulation, and stylization techniques.
