The effects for the last few scenes is taking shape, now it's about the nitty gritty details! Simon and Andy are working on the simulated FX setups for the film while Hjalti helps out hand-animating the crucial character energy effects. Vivien is finalizing the textures for the very end of the film.
This week I iterated more on the energy FX. That's for all different levels of visibility, so when it's close up, further away, or really far, throughout the sequences. (More of that in Andy's section of the scene progressions.) Besides that I fixed a bunch of things flickering around and such throughout the film.
Spent a lot of time this week frame-by-framing electricity fx in various shots, hopefully it comes out great in the final rendered version.
I was working on refining the planet transformation, mostly adding more detail after Andy baked down the textures for me to paint on. (Looks like it's all spoilers from here, sorry about that!)
I mainly worked on the black hole breaking effects for the ending of the film as well as many small fixes all over the film.
