View Full Version : Effect like Colossus in X2?
alexgk 02-26-2004, 10:20 PM Hi,
I was wondering what sort of techniques could be used to create an effect like Colossus' skin in X2 or the headgear in Stargate.
Is the actor tracked then the data is brought into something like Maya?
Any articles or reference on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Alex

i saw the vfx teams presentation of this at a vfx society event. if i remember right, they had a digital double of the actor and animated a matte traveling up the surface of the digital double that was used in compositing to wipe between the clean plate of him and his cg titanic body. i think they used goals to animate white particles traveling up his body in a slightly random way. That is what i remember. hope its helpful.

That's a very interesting technique, I didn't know it could work that way. Gives me some new ideas.
Thank you!
