Sky Captain

[Gare]

Has anyone/everyone seen Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? It was all done green screen and I belive that all the CG was done using Houdini.

Anyone own Houdini?

Houdini is about as expensive as Shake I believe.Lightwave was also used a lot as well bud.

Oh i haven't seen that movie yet, i expect it to look good. I'm very curious about the whole ombient glow effect they're using throughout the movie. Gives it an unusual feel.

Cool James ya mail away bud


I think the deal is Gare that a number of studios did certain shots.They all however followed the cartoon type background to be true to the nature of the cartoon.I believe the look is basically channel manipulation with a tweak or 2.


One of the reviews I read was done by {cant remember the studio} LW for the landscape and snow effects,plus matte paintings by another guy.One of the other effects houses did the concept art and then designed the machines,think they used XSI {dont quote me on that] But a number of different software was used,both off the shelf and proprietary written stuff I imagine.
