I. MOREVFX Company
Xu Jian's MoreVFX company is responsible for more than 800 shots, and the biggest problem he faces is "quantity", "its assets and rendering volume are extremely large". In order to solve this problem, the company has developed some data flow conduction to make the data flow transfer between departments faster.
Second, orange vision company
Ding Yanlai's orange vision company is responsible for more than 700 special effects shots in the film. He and Xu Jian are facing the same problem. There are many big scenes in the lens, with great details and layers. At first, it takes 20 hours to render a frame. "It has never been rendered for such a long time" because these shots are basically not real shots, belonging to pure CG, which is equivalent to pure rendering. Later, Ding Yanlai and the team slowly optimized the production process and shortened the time to 7 hours.
Third, Blaad studio
Studio Blaad has produced more than 300 special effects shots in The Wandering Earth, mainly about most of the shots inside the space station, as well as the space position, synthesis and extension of the internal structure of the space station. At the beginning, the data capacity of space station assets was about 10GB. In order to solve the problem of large-capacity space station data, they converted to a dollar-based process for production. This is a data flow management method of Pixar company, which is different from the original data construction system.
Four. Pisomondo
PIXOMONDO Beijing participated in the production of 2 16 lenses, of which more than 60% were Class A lenses, including more than 50 full CG lenses. Each shot includes particle simulation calculation of snowstorm and special effects of collapse and destruction of frozen city. The company specially designed the workflow and scene management system for this film, which made the artists work faster and more efficiently when making such a huge CG environment.
