Abstract:
Exploding a super hero in DreamWorks Animation’s “MegaMind” was a large scale task. The detail and scale of the explosion was to be massive and the collaboration between effects artists unprecedented. This created several technical hurdles and eventually several innovations such as: a fluid clamping plugin, a volume splatting tool adjustable by noise, and a collaborative caching tool.
