The Jungle Book

Congrats to The Jungle Book for winning the Oscar for 'Best Visual Effects' last month (and doing the double of the Bafta and Oscar!). I worked as a Texture Artist with MPC on this project. This involved being assigned a plant from the jungle sourcing high quality reference from the internet... yes the internet, no high quality photo shoot library's for this one :(  and then the next stage is painting a photo-real texture on to a grey 3D model of the plant. We would then do 360 renders with our sourced reference images overlaid on top for comparison, and these would be analysed on a large projector screen, by VFX supervisors and leads. Having left early in the project I didn't see much finished work, so I was pleased to see the final result looked so good. If you have not seen it, it is also a really good movie as well as world class visual effects.
