ABSTRACT
After almost 5 years with a small crew, Bone Mother is the first National Film Board of Canada film to explore 3d printing. The filmmakers used 3d printing to achieve a wide range of expressions and dialogue, but also to help build the puppets, sets and rigs. While developing new production pipelines that incorporated this technology into stop-motion, the team found that as one solution was solved, a new challenge surfaced.

An art-directed wrinkle system for CG character clothing and skin
We present a kinematic system for creating art-directed clothing and skin wrinkles on CG characters used in the production of computer-animated feature films. This system employs a curve-based method for generating wrinkles on reference poses, which are ...
Animated feather coats using field lines
AFRIGRAPH '07: Proceedings of the 5th international conference on Computer graphics, virtual reality, visualisation and interaction in AfricaThe tedious task of manually placing feathers on computer animated objects involves aligning feathers, ensuring that they do not insect each other or penetrate the surface, deforming every feather to match the local surface features, and ensuring that ...
