Title:
- Rapid, High Quality Dailies with RenderFlow for The Jungle Book
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
While working on the visual effects for The Jungle Book, we had to produce high quality daily previews for internal and client reviews. These included fur, complex environments and many animated characters. To do this efficiently, we used RenderFlow, a pipeline-aware rendering API developed at MPC to build complex scenes, render elements separately and compose them together [Romeo et al. 2015]. In this paper we describe how the system was used in production and discuss performance evaluation over five shots from the film to assess the validity of the approach.
