Description:


    She’s back! This time, Cruella’s evil scheme is undone by Oddball, the little heroine of “102 Dalmatians.” The spotless Dalmatian was produced by Disney’s The Secret Lab, whose original strategy was to digitally remove spots from live action puppies and create a CG character for challenging stunt shots. However, daunting spot removal required a totally believable CG puppy for extreme close ups. Painstaking attention was paid to Oddball’s face and expres­sive eyes. Muscle and skin techniques derived from “Dinosaur” attached muscle to bone and skin for realistic motion, and a proprietary new shader was used to finesse the puppy’s fur.
