Title:


    Hydra of Hercules

Conference:



Description:


    The mythological Hydra in Disney’s “Hercules” is a fully computer-animated character within a traditionally animated film. As Hercules battles the Hydra, it grows from a single- headed beast into a 30-headed monster. The challenges were for the computer animation to match both the flexibility of movement of hand-drawn animation, and the graphic style of ink and paint characters.
