Look
development artists are responsible for creating the materials and
textures for every 3D environment, prop, and character in the
film. We synthesize reference from visual development, the web,
production photograpy, and our own
research to create exceptional looks that both fit within the style of
the
film and contribute to storytelling. We add detail that would be
costly to build, and generate fur and hair. We are problem
solvers, and each new surface or material type presents a unique
challenge as we strive to create convincing representations while
working within the constraints of production and time. Look
development plays a crucial role in fashioning the look and feel of the
'world' each film inhabits, and our
clients are both the art director and the lighting department, who
ultimately use the looks we make in creating the final rendered image.
