Everybody's an Effect: Scalable Volumetric Crowds on Pixar's Elemental
DescriptionPixar’s “Elemental” is set in a world teeming with fire, air, earth, and water characters. By building a Houdini-Engine character pipeline based on blended simulation caches and extending our crowd pipeline to approximate non-skeletal deformation with blendshapes, we were able to animate, deform, and render an absurd number of voxels.
