How the Tsim Sha Tsui Pixar Daytime Disassembly was Made
🎟❤️🤖The secret exhibition of Pixar animation science! After watching, we will go to Harbor City again! 🎉
The entire exhibition introduces and explains how the animation is made in ten areas 🥰 Very interesting. In 1995, the world's first fully computer-animated film, Toy Story, was released. Since then, Pixar Animation Studios has continued to create several groundbreaking films. How exactly do Pixar employees use their creativity and imagination, combining art and computer technology to build new forms of storytelling?
The Scientific Secrets of Pixar Animation exhibition, curated and produced by the Boston Museum of Science and Pixar Animation Studios, gives you a fresh perspective on how these films cleverly blend science, technology, engineering, fine art and mathematics (STEAM) concepts to create vivid characters and realistic scenes you can enjoy on the screen.
The exhibition features more than 50 sets of interesting and engaging interactive exhibits, physical models and video programs that introduce eight technical procedures for Pixar animation production.
🎉Build a model
Character design begins with fine artists, who use sketches and clay sculptures (sculpts for reference, also known as “preliminary molds”) to create the ideal shape for each character. The digital modeler then constructs a virtual three-dimensional model for the character. The final model is a virtual digital wireframe made of dots and lines interconnected. Then there are mini theaters for you to enjoy the animation.
🎉Build a skeleton structure
Digital skeleton structures are virtual bones, joints and muscles that enable the model to make movements. A good skeleton structure allows an animator to create various movements easily and efficiently. The skeleton builder disassembles these movements into separate units and creates hundreds of control points that allow the animator to create various poses.
🎉Construct surfaces
The virtual 3D model shows only one shape of the object, while the surface expresses its appearance. Surface artists use the computer program Shader to construct its appearance. Shaders determine the way lights scatter across an object’s surface, making it look either as shiny, transparent and smooth as glass or dull and rough like rust.
🎉Scenery and photography
The angles and techniques of setting and shooting will convey the story and bring out the threaded emotions. Set designers are also like architects, they build virtual environments from scratch. Every pebble, every tree and every building helps turn the storyboard into a world that comes to life. Photographic artists use virtual cameras to shape the screen displayed on the screen. They will decide on composition, camerawork and type of shots to assist in interpreting the content of the story.
🎉Character action production
Pixar’s character animators let the characters act out in every scene, creating lifelike stories. They will first confirm the critical frame, setting an important pose in the movement. They then use computer programs to orchestrate how objects move between critical poses so that the movements express the desired emotion.
🎉 Simulation
Effects Simulation programmers create movements that make the scene more vivid and realistic. Some effects simulate work, such as hair, hair, and fabric, that change according to the character's movements. Some simulations reproduce natural phenomena, such as fire or water. Programmers base their work on relevant physical laws first, but balance realism, artistic angles and the production time required to simulate the action.
🎉Production process
Watch a scene from the movie "Brain Friends", from the beginning of the storyboard to the completion of every stage of production.
🎉 Lighting
Lighting is a big part of interpreting the story. The lighting leads your line of sight, enhancing the infectiousness of each episode. Lighting designers also need to program each virtual lighting in their computer, setting the color, position and brightness of each light to achieve the ideal artistic effect.
🎉 Imaging production
The virtual scene is set up – the coloring and movement of the characters has been completed, the lighting and cameras are in place, and the various simulators are ready. But until the process of imaging production transforms all this data and computer programming into the image we see, no one knows what it will look like. Pixar will produce low-resolution imaging for footage that is still in the creative stage and high-resolution imaging for the final version of the film.
