Description:


    Adidas “Mechanical Legs“ represented a unique challenge for Digital Domain.The story: A pair of robotic legs in a giant test facility come to life after hours and put the brand-new Adidas shoes to the test.This spot was entirely created by computer graphics. The performance was based on motion capture enhanced by keyframe animation. The challenge to create a photorealistic environment was solved by using high-dynamic-range lighting with high-resolution models and textures. For the table animation, Digital Domain developed a semi-auto-matic setup that always kept the platforms in synchronicity with the performance of the robot legs.
