I Am Groot S2 | Animation References

Behind The TRIX | I Am Groot Season 2 | Real art made by real artists! Even when creating fantasy worlds, real-world references are crucial to getting the animation just right. TRIXTER Animator Nina Fischer captured some of the live-action references that went into bringing Baby Groot to life... and we think the results are pretty fab! #trixtervfx #animation #3danimation #animationreference

How To Make Hot Cocoa (By Baby Groot) ☕ 1. 🍫 Pour in a packet nearly as big as you are 2. 🥄 Niiice big stir 3. ☁ Add plenty of marshmallows (plus a little munch. For science.) 4. 🍦 And remember: It's not proper hot cocoa unless there's a mountain of whipped cream. Bonus tip: ⛄ While you wait for it to cool, you can spend some outdoor time building killer snowmen on a passing ice planet! #babygroot #iamgroot #iamgrootseason2 #trixtervfx #animation #storyboardtofinal #storyboard #guardiansofthegalaxy #marvel #marvelstudios #3danimation

T E A M S P O T L I G H T || Chris Smallfield, VFX Supervisor at TRIXTER, has published a book of trippy #AI generative art! 'Mostly Human.' (available on Amazon) collects the curated results of thousands of generated images using special AI tools—strange & expressive works that range from surreal to abstract. The work is vibrant and unique, dynamic and bold, and the result of a combined effort of man and machine that neither could have made possible without the other. It’s an alien symbiosis that is still Mostly Human. Nice work, Chris (and AI)! #aiart #teamspotlight #trixtervfx #amazon #artificialintelligence #vfx #digitalart

#ThrowbackThursday | Goose the Alien Cat | Captain Marvel 'VFX Supervisor Chris Townsend was nothing but complimentary about the cats and the animal trainers working on “Captain Marvel” to help create Goose. Though he said, frankly, “There are certain things the cats obviously can’t do. There are also things that the cat didn’t want to do. So there was an awful lot of replacement of the cat throughout the film.” VFX company TRIXTER was brought in to work on the computer-generated imagery version of Goose, and the cat looked so realistic the directors didn’t even recognize it was computer trickery, according to Townsend. The visual effects supervisor said the CGI cat was used in most of the Goose scenes in the film. “There are about over 100 shots of the cat in the film, 70 or 80 of them are CG,” he added, “including the shots, obviously, where the tentacles come out of the face.” It also didn’t help that star Brie Larson is allergic to cats. “Whenever Brie’s holding a cat, almost always it’s a CG cat, and a lot of the times when the cat is on Nick Fury’s lap or is wandering around, it’s CG as well. There’s a lot of stuff that I would look at as a viewer and think, ‘Well, surely they could’ve got a cat to do that.’ In reality, no, we couldn’t get the cat to perform correctly in the same takes we got the actors to perform.” “You can’t really tell Sam Jackson, ‘Sorry, could you go again? Because the cat didn’t do it right.’” Article by HuffPost, full article here! https://www.huffpost.com/entry/its-time-to-talk-about-a-captain-marvel-cut-scene-and-other-secrets-from-the-movie_n_5c9422c3e4b057f73308d847 #trixtervfx #goose #flerkin #captainmarvel #tbt #visualeffects #mcu #marvelcinematicuniverse #vfx #creatureanimation #creaturefx #cfx #vfxstudio

Since everybody is talking about zombies right now anyways, here's a bit of zombification by our team last year for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Happy Monday, folks! 🧟 #DoctorStrange #visualeffects #trixtervfx #doctorstrangeinthemultiverseofmadness #marvel

Behind the TRIX || The Portals of She-Hulk || "We had many shots with the Wong portal and we needed a system that was easy to use on multiple shots and multiple orientations. Thanks to the procedural nature of Houdini, we created a setup that could be easily placed and animated. Then we had 3 main layers of sparks. The first layer was driven by the portal rotation, the secondary layer was advected by a volume sim to get a more organic look and finally we had a layer that was behaving like rain drops. The thickness and amount of the sparks as well as the rotation speed of the portal were the main components that were defining the look. Blaze's portal was a bit more challenging, since the character is still learning the art of portals, the first tries are quite irregular and erratic. We had to adapt our setup to accommodate for that, mainly distorting the source and adding breakup to the emission points. Then we adjusted the amount of breakup per shot as Blaze was improving it over time.. When the demons emerge from the portal was another challenge, since the portal is now horizontal and intersecting with the floor. Rotating the setup was already giving us a good base, then we added additional layers of sparks that were colliding with the floor, to give a more interesting interaction. Finally, some extra sparks were also added to augment the interaction with the demons." Thanks for the insights, FX Lead Daniel Llussà! #trixtervfx #behindthetrix #shehulk #portals #fx #vfx #vfxstudio #vfxjobs

Behind the TRIX || She-Hulk: Attorney at Law || Our demon attack sequence in Episode 4 was a shining example of cross-department teamwork here at TRIXTER. So, who was involved? Asset (who created the models), Rigging (created the rigs for Anim), Lookdev (who made them look… well… awesome), Animation (who brought the demons to life), CFX (who created hair & softbody sim for detail), FX (who added the cracking eggshells, demon slime etc), Lighting (who efficiently rendered all those demons using instancing), and Compositing (who added the final touches and integrated it into the plate) plus Matchmove, Layout, Production and more! While each layer on its own wouldn’t seem like much to the untrained eye, all of the elements & talents joined forces to create this devilish little sequence. #trixtervfx #shehulk #marvel #visualeffects #vfx #animation #creaturedesign #cfx #fx #lighting #compositing #3danimation #rigging #lookdev #shehulkattorneyatlaw

Behind the TRIX || Abomination || Yepp, we brought him back... again! After we reprised him for last year's #ShangChi, we developed Abomination even further for #SheHulk.

S H O W R E E L || The Kangaroo Conspiracy Animation Showreel || ",While animating The Kangaroo, the FACS rig facial capture came especially handy when teaching the team how to lipsync in German, as lots of our animators worked from all over the world on this show." -Claudius Urban, Animation Supervisor #trixtervfx #animation #3danimation #deutscheskino #xfilme #xverleih #kaengurufim

Behind the TRIX || "The biggest challenge with She-Hulk was her long, curly-wavy hair... it was much harder than we expected. Every shot, it looks like she’s in a hair commercial. There’s A LOT of art-direction to make it feel right." -Chris Smallfield, VFX Supervisor for #SheHulk (Shout out to our rockstar #Groom artists who probably didn't sleep much during this project!) #trixtervfx #SheHulkAttorneyatLaw #VFX #3danimation #grooming #artdirection #marvel #mcu

Behind the TRIX || Ms. Marvel || The Karachi car chase sequence in Episode 4 was a doozy. There is A LOT going on here—not only the chase itself, but the highly dynamic environment and the hard light powers Kamala uses to protect herself, her driver and the pedestrians around her. This was, needless to say, extremely complex. We undertook a massive set extension for this sequence (everything above the ground floor—yepp that's almost all CG!), and while we probably shouldn't say this, it wasn't actually shot in Karachi. But we won't say where. The magic of visual effects! #trixtervfx #msmarvel #setextension #vfx #vfxstudio
