    Receiving widespread discussion and positive reviews from critics, Loki Season 2, the latest installment of Marvel Studios cosmic adventure, delivered a mind-blowing finale that opened the doors to the multiverse. In the new season, Loki (portrayed by Tom Hiddleston) finds himself embroiled in a fierce struggle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority (TVA). Teaming up with Mobius, Hunter B-15, and an array of both fresh and familiar faces, he ventures into the continually expanding and increasingly dangerous multiverse in search of Sylvie, Judge Renslayer, Miss Minutes, and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose. Image from Marvel StudiosNot only a narrative triumph, the series is also a visual effects masterpiece which is a part of its success. It was nominated for the VES Award for Best VFX and the VES Award for Best Effects Simulation in 2024. Congrats! The talented London team of Framestore delivered circa 250 visual effects shots for the show, supported by tracking services from the studio in Mumbai. According to Framestore, an efficient plan was necessary to accommodate the visual demands of the series, which ranged from the neverending 1970s office expanse of the TVA to intricate 'time slipping' glitch simulations with heavy FX usage. Framestore Pre-Production Services (FPS) provided pre-vis, post-vis, and tech-vis for the series in its entirety. Their visual development team nailed down the concept and handed the torch to their pre-production department, who planned all the sequences in pre-vis. Once filmed, the scenes then went through a second round of vis-dev, into postvis, and then over to the visual effects artists to create the final shot.Spaghettification VFX breakdown in Loki S2 by FramestoreAmong all the VFX they made in the series, one of the standout effect simulations is spaghettification, which was a technical challenge. This phenomenon, which results from the disruption of time and space, involves objects decomposing into threads of time. Head of Visual Development Owen Jackson sheds some light on their process - they started with an exploration of concepts, just like with the time slipping, saying, FPS then planned out the sequences in pre-vis, and for the most part we shot the record store and other Spaghettification sequences one for one with the pre-vis. It was an excellent foundation. Subsequently, they proceeded with the second round of visual development - utilizing EXR scans directly from the set and implementing a new round of visual development using actual shots. Jackson concludes, "Ultimately we delivered a very polished round of concepts in VisDev phase 2 for both Time slipping and Spaghettification.Loki Season 2 features the reappearance of the Time Variance Authority (TVA) headquarters filled with endless cubicles. Framestores team further developed the setting originally crafted in Loki's first season, envisioning how the environment would appear within the variant timelines that he explores. Besides, as Loki strives to untangle the rapidly expanding multivariate universes, he is dragged between different times, and his physical form will be instantly distorted, which is so-called time-slipping. Framestore delivered about 50 time slip shots, and each one is uniquely handcrafted.

    The series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters premiered on Apple TV+ on Nov. 17, 2023, which intertwines two timelines, the 1950s and 2015, to explore the origins and operations of the Monarch organization within the MonsterVerse. The series follows the Randa siblings, Cate and Kentaro, as they unravel their fathers mysterious past with Monarch, connecting to the early days of the organization with scientists Bill Randa and Keiko Miura. The narrative bridges past and present, weaving a tale of family, legacy, and the colossal Titans that shape their world.Under VFX Supervisor Arek Komorowski's guidance, the Framestore studios in Vancouver and Montreal delivered 275 shots for this series based on Legendary's Monsterverse franchise. The team crafted two Titans - the Frost Vark and the Brambleboar - and delivered a range of other visual effects across episodes 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10.The Frost VarkThe Frost Vark, a massive creature with tentacles on its face, is a hybrid of an aardvark, a star-nosed mole, and a pangolin, as seen in episodes 3,4 and 7. Image from FramestoreAccording to Animation Supervisor Jye Skinn, Frost Varks design drew inspiration from various animals such as rhinos, hippos, elephants, and pangolins. Dave Gagnon, the Creature Supervisor, explains that the creation of the scales posed a significant technical and creative challenge. "We had to ensure their movement and interaction with light were realistic, involving complex rigging, animation, and CFX. To manage the creatures numerous scales, the team utilized LODs (Levels of Detail) techniques, essential for achieving manageable scenes across all departments," he says. Adding elements of ice and snow introduced an additional layer of complexity.VFX breakdown showreel of Frost Vark by FramestoreThe BrambleboarThe Brambleboar, a creature resembling a massive boar, complete with 25 botanical horns sprouting from its body and face, makes its appearance in episode 9. As part of the design process, the Framestores team delved into diverse foliage references, drawing from nature for inspiration while integrating branches and leaves into the creature's form.To contribute to the creature's verisimilitude, a grooming simulation was vital in imitating multiple types of moss growing on the boar. This meticulous simulation contributed an extra level of reality, forming a complex and eye-catching texture that added to the Brambleboar's overall natural appearance.VFX breakdown showreel of Brambleboar by FramestoreAs the VFX Supervisor Arek Komorowski said, "From crafting simple vehicle assets to challenging creature designs, from intricate FX to invisible visual effects, we really had a great variety of work and a great mix of creative challenges," the Framestore team really did stunning works for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

When Interpol hires them for a daring heist, they have to steal $500 million worth of gold from a plane in the sky, before a hacker uses it to fund a terrorist attack. But the mission is not as simple as it seems, and Cyrus and his crew will have to face old rivals, unexpected twists, and their feelings along the way.The talented team of Image Engine created 342 VFX shots for the film, including designing a complex custom high-tech jet, authentic F-35B Lightning fighter jets, and bringing the Swiss Alps to life - every element contributed to the excitement. We'd like to offer our hearty congratulations to the Image Engine team and all others involved in the making of this film for their remarkable work.VFX breakdown reel for LiftAccording to Andy Walker, the Image Engine VFX Supervisor on Lift, a high-tech jet custom-built and commandeered for use in hijacking serves as a key element in the movie. The jet must be outfitted with handmade stealth paneling to achieve radar invisibility. The team worked with the director to match the interior design of the jet with a lavish and techy exterior in 3D ways. They also added a layer of stealth paneling with a junkyard dog look that reflected the source of the materials. The final design had a sleek shape with curved wings, dual stabilizers, and chrome trims.Image from Image EngineWhats more, the Image Engine team created two F-35B Lightning fighter jets for the sequence and an AS365 DAUPHIN helicopter, which were hand-crafted by their asset team with afterburners, sonic booms, and vapor trails added by their FX team.Besides aircraft, Image Engine was also assigned the job of designing two hangars. The first hangar, which served as a backdrop for presenting the Private Jet owned by a wealthy tech mogul, had a dual purpose as a showroom and aircraft storage place. The second hangar was employed to transition the Private Jet into the Stealth Jet, complete with high-tech, showy modifications.Image from Image EngineAs Andy mentioned, the team also created the mountaintop environment of the Swiss Alps and Tuscan Villa, and made some character face replacements with their 3D hand-animated version."Lift was a really exciting project to be a part of."

    VFX

    The film 'Napoleon' has made a strong showing in the 96th Academy Awards (The Oscars 2024) nominations recently announced, receiving nods for Best Achievement in Visual Effects, Best Achievement in Production Design, and Best Achievement in Costume Design. In addition to this, the film was also nominated for four awards at the 2024 EE BAFTA Film Awards, including Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects.A visual spectacle from the exquisite lens of director Ridley Scott, 'Napoleon' is an intense action epic, starring Joaquin Phoenix as the formidable Napoleon Bonaparte and Vanessa Kirby as his wife, Joséphine Bonaparte. The film roughly encapsulates Napoleon's journey to the helm of French power, both militarily and politically, while providing a deep examination of his volatile relationship with his wife Joséphine.Image from MPCIn pursuit of unparalleled realism, the filmmakers ventured to shoot on location, utilizing authentic sets, horses, and props whenever feasible. But it's not enough. Under the capable supervision of Production VFX Supervisor Charley Henley and MPC VFX Supervisor Luc-Ewen Martin-Fenouillet, the MPC team flawlessly executed 250 shots for this cinematic masterpiece. Recreating the monumental battles led by Napoleon demanded intricate coordination between SFX and VFX, truly showing the word 'epic'.One of MPC's most challenging tasks was to meticulously recreate the historic Battle of Waterloo for the film. With expertise and precision, MPC's skilled artists constructed expansive environment extensions for both the French and British camps. Going above and beyond, they also brought to life the entire Napoleonic armies, with every rank accounted for, from drummers to generals. 60 unique costumes were faithfully reproduced using actor scans to achieve a diverse and realistic visual. With remarkable attention to detail, MPC digitally rendered marching and charging armies, including the majestic cavalcades, amplifying the epic scale required for this biographical film. Additionally, the MPC VFX team injected further realism into the scenes by incorporating simulated rain, stormy cloud plates, compositing patched sunlight moving across the landscapes, SFX-generated elements of smoke drifting through the frame and flags fluttering in the wind.According to MPC, in addition to footage of the Battle of Waterloo, they also remade sequences of the Tileries Palace, Moscow (including Red Square,) and the Siege of Toulon.

    Behind Alita: Battle Angel, How To Make Alita Birth

    VFX

    From 20 years ago, RMS Titanic, to 10 years ago, Avatar, to now, Alita: Battle Angel, which will be released, James Cameron, a decade-old sword, always surprises the audience.In fact, before the release of Avatar in 2009, James Cameron had completed the screenplay of Alita: Battle Angel, but due to the high heat of Avatar, he had to plan a sequel, so the Alita: Battle Angel project was put on hold for a while.Alita: Battle Angel is a 2019 American cyberpunk action film based on Yukito Kishiro's manga series Gunnm, written by James Cameron, directed by Robert Rodriguez, a special sci-fi blockbuster produced by Weta Digital, will be released in China on February 22. As the first Hollywood blockbuster after the Chinese New Year, it has already revealed the full potential of explosions. I believe that many card god powders are already ready to wear.The film tells about the development of science and technology after the collapse of the 26th century civilization. Human beings and mechanical reformers coexist. The weak meat is the only survival rule of the Iron and Steel City. Dr Dyson Ido is a famous reformer doctor in Steel City. He found a semi-mechanical girl's body in the garbage dump. After saving it, she named her Alita. Although Alita lost her life and lost her memory, with the help of Dr Dyson Ido and her friend Hugo, she gradually adapted to new life and street sin. By chance, Alita found himself with amazing fighting talent and was destined to be born for the battle. An epic adventure that uncovers the mystery of his own life and breaks the old order of the universe begins.In order to restore the essence of the original comic book Gunnm, in addition to showing the cool "mechanical beauty", the film also retains the characteristics of Alita as a second-dimensional character. Weta Digital uses the new 3D shooting technology "Performance Capture" to make the full CG character Alita photo-realistic and frame the real character without any disobedience. Weta Digital special effects staff told you that the visual effects in the film have been further upgraded compared to movies such as Avatar and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The VFX Supervisor also said that Alita is the most challenging digital role ever created by Weta Digital.New performance capture technologyHow to present Alita in a real scene, James Cameron and Weta Digital Studio can be said to be painstaking. When filmed, James Cameron revolutionized the motion capture technology created in Avatar with a new “performance capture” technology – a shooting technique that can simultaneously record body movements in addition to facial expressions. In the steel city built in 1:1 real scene, a large number of cameras photographed her face and body markers against Rosa Salazar. The system will depict the markers in three dimensions and generate a set of skeletons in the CG model. Collecting the most realistic power and action data from her body to drive the CG model performance.Rosa Salazar's performance was completely transformed into Alita, and each scar, wrinkle, and every micro-expression were strikingly consistent, achieving a mirror-like magical effect. James Cameron said: "What we are pursuing is to let the audience see the characters in the close-up is real."Alita's big eyes and delicate skinPreviously, Weta Digital had done the trick of The Lord Of The Rings, Caesar of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Alita's expression was the most difficult and finest. A pair of big eyes were made with 50,000 pixels, and Alita's iris used 9 million pixels. The production team spent a year to create and four months to perfect. For the first time, Eric Saindon and the team simulated the fibers of the baby's eyes. The close-up lens of the eye was not made with traditional dynamic maps, but completely created the entire eye structure including the iris.The skin of Alita's face is also one of the challenges. To create a real face, you need to understand the "deep deconstruction" of the face. In the process, the team step by step created the head, chin, muscles and the appropriate facial epidermis, which is the fat tissue above the muscles, and then the real "skin layer." The finalization of more than 2,500 facial expressions makes up the various expressions of Alita, thus achieving the perfect integration.47 hairs, 2700 partsTo achieve Alita's unparalleled true texture, the team created 47 hair styles for eyebrows including eyebrows and eyelashes, with more than 132,000 hairs, 2000 eyebrows, 480 eyelashes on her head, face There is nearly 500,000 "peach fluff" on the ear, which is extraordinarily soft under the light. Engineers have implemented a new pore growth technique in which fluff is implanted in every pore of Alita to make the skin more delicate and firmer, and the face is more realistic.The audience can only see the mechanical body of the metal on the screen. In fact, Alita is a simulation doll made of more than 8,000 pieces. The "mechanical skeleton" inside her body is composed of 5,000 parts of different sizes. When watching the movie, I found that all the parts of Alita were moving. When she raised her arm, the following parts followed. At the same time, the production team also designed 71 digital special effects costumes for Alita, a total of 125 different wearing methods. The Berserker's body is assembled using 2700 parts, all of which move at high speed with each movement of the character.Nearly 500 million hours of renderingThe film's Steel City takes a live-action shot in Austin, Texas, covering an area of 96,000 square feet. This huge city, built on the upper slant, requires a huge amount of computation during the rendering process. So the production team used a relatively new technology - the "OSM" caching system. First, use 1 to 20 very simple buildings as the city structure, then add "pipes" and other details to it. With the "OSM" caching system, you only need to cache once to put the buildings in different buildings. The final rendering reduces memory runs, saving time and resources.Alita: Battle Angel Every scene takes 100 hours to render, with a total rendering of 400-500 million hours (500 frames per frame), which is 3 times that of Avatar. At Weta Digital, there are 800 staff members and 30,000 computers working together. When the weather is cold, you can even see the heat in the studio building coming out, because the computers are hot!Currently, Alita: Battle Angel has been released besides China for many days, and the word of mouth has continued to sell. The Audience Score of Rotten Tomatoes has reached 93%. The media and industry insiders in North America also highly praised the film.
