Abstract:
This talk presents an overview of the specific tools that BUF has developed for cosmic visualization purpose. First created for the movie Thor, these methods and tools have been enhanced for the TV series Cosmos a Spacetime Odyssey, and specially optimized for a broadcast economic model. Integrated in the BUF’s unique in-house software pipeline, these tools have been meant to resolve specific challenges for visual effects, such as huge scale issue, designing quasi-static states for nebulae, or building procedural photo-based assets.
