HBO’S WATCHMEN - IMPORTANT LOOKING PIRATES VFX
MODELING AND TEXTURING FACE REPLACEMENTS
A photoshoot took place of the two characters (Adam and Eve) and ILP were supplied photo scanned geometry with textures, but these did not come without fault. There was a lot of clean up involved and all of the higher detail on the sculpt and textures was done by eye.
One of each of the actors are in these shots and then the face replacement composited over the top of the doubles.
Many blendshapes were also modeled for the multiple clones as they all had to speak as their master passed them.
THE MASTER’S SPACESHIP
The spaceship asset was so huge, I ended up helping out by modeling and laying out the UV’s for the capsule that the Master enters.
A few of us artists at ILP had the task to quickly model this aeroplane. I took on the body and wings and imported the other two artists work to bring it all together and it make sure it was pipeline ready before publishing the asset.
