Live Mantle Creation | VFX | Cosmoball (2020)
A couple of years ago, I worked on a big VFX movie called "Cosmoball" at Main Road Post Studio. It was a tremendous production with a lot of studios and freelancers involved. For me, it was an amazing experience with many difficult and interesting tasks. I love working on VFX because sometimes you need to solve unsolvable tasks.
This is one of the shots I worked on. The animation was done by another animator, just like the mockup of the Live Mantle - a special magic dress of the main villain that could take different states such as liquid, rope, cloth, tentacle, etc. It was also pretty smart and had its own intelligence.
Finally, the guys from the FX department came to me and asked for help with the "flying boxes and spheres" from the mockup, which they had to use to create magic.
I conducted research, spoke to the Art Director, and asked him about the main idea behind the Mantle's behavior. After collecting all the information, I figured out how to create the rig and animation for this creature and transferred the data to the FX Department to let their magic happen :)
