Description:
This intrinsic animation of a city under construction is based on six matte paintings. Time-lapse effects were used to visualize the transformation. First, the 3D team worked closely with the matte painters to supply them with 3D scenes. Then the painters used these scenes as a reference for framing, perspectives, and matte finalization. From the multiple layers, high-definition mattes were generated to represent various phases of the development. Finally, the 3D artists recreated the time-lapse animation of the construction and added building-site details and workers. Software: proprietary, Softimage, Photoshop, rendering with Mental Ray and Flame.
