Abstract:
We present Animal Logic’s solution to simulate light refraction in deformable characters’ eye corneas in Autodesk® Maya®’s viewport. We show how we’ve integrated this feature into our USD pipeline and in Maya and how we produce results similar to an offline render without impacting interactivity for animators.
