Description:


    To produce a compelling, subjective point of view for the title character in“Daredevil,“ Rhythm & Hues developed Shadow World, a visualization of echoes that bounce off objects in the environment, creating ghost-like images that dissipate with vapor-like transience. Shadow World represents the development of an advanced, production-tested set of volumetric tools, allowing a great deal of flexibility and control in the shape and appearance of three-dimensional density fields.
