Description:


    For “Pearl Harbor,” ILM created vistas of period battleships under attack and CG planes in combat. Simulation software was written for the huge billowing smoke from destroyed battleships, and new rigid-body software was developed for the destruction of planes and ships. Other developments included: new environmental light­ing techniques to enhance the realism of rendered planes and ships; new crowd and sailor placement software using motion capture, including data from a daylight motion-capture solution; and new match-animation tools to deal with complex plates and set exten­sion needs.
