- Flexible Eye Design for Japanese Animation
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Eyes are crucial in depicting the emotions and psychology of a character. In this talk, we present the eye system we developed at OLM Digital to design and control eyes for Japanese animation where they typically come in a lot of different shapes and colors. Our tool is straightforward and provides a lot of control to the users. Our artists can create elongated irises and pupils, add the cornea bump and refraction and add lighting effects like caustics and catchlights. The render pass exports the necessary information to provide the ability to adjust the final appearance at compositing time, giving a lot of creative freedom to the artists.
