The event offers many opportunities to meet and share knowledge with fellow developers.
Framestore and Wonka’s Procedural Chocolate Factory
For the final sequence of Wonka, we had to create his Chocolate Factory popping into existence in the ruins of a castle. We used Houdini procedural modelling and layout techniques in combination with traditional VFX workflows to allow us to achieve this in the relatively short time allowed and to give flexible creative control to the client for the ending of the film. In this talk, Environment Supervisor Simon Carlile will show the various procedural tools we created and show some of the unique challenges of procedural workflow in a film VFX context.
