Art detail
13 June, 2019Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the best film I’ve seen in the last six months. It’s imaginative, exciting, funny and constantly visually inventive.
If that wasn’t enough, the artists have posted a slew of content about little details in the film (which Simon Willison has gathered in a twitter thread), and sidefx.com interviewed the team about the processes they used to create such great results. They used and abused their pre-existing in-house tools which allowed them to write custom Python code and use procedural generation to prototype and create detailed CG effects that looked and felt hand-drawn, which is incredible.
And hey, if you want, you can even read the screenplay! Excelsior!
