How do you animate characters in the computer?The characters are built on the computer as models. These models are then given avars. Avars are the controls assigned to each part of the model. There’s avars in the face, the limbs, etc. We use these avars as a puppeteer would use the strings on a puppet to get the desired movement. The movement of each avar on a character model gets recorded on the computer in distance and time. Adjustments are made accordingly until we are satisfied with the motion of the model.

你怎麼在電腦中作動畫的?

我們的人物都是在電腦裡面建立起來的模型,這些模型之後會加avars(animation variables,類似Maya之中Channel Box裡面的參數,或是Rig)上去,avars是那些放在人物各部分上面的控制器,臉部有avars,四肢也都有avars,我們使用這些avars來控制模型,就像傀儡師用線來控制傀儡一樣,我們不斷調整動作,這些avars的數字也同時不斷被電腦紀錄下來,直到我們滿意人物的表演為止

Avars(animation variables) 動畫變量 :是指變量控制動畫對象的部分位置,例如一個角色。

It sounds fast-paced.We try to be creative but also work within the schedule of the shot. A shot sheet says how many frames a shot has and how much time you have to work on it. It’s important to work within the schedule allotted because the shot usually has to go through other aspects of film production, such as special effects, lighting and shading. In order for us to be able to put our movie out in time, we have to allow for time in each aspect of the production process but sometimes there are technical difficulties that happen that we can’t anticipate.

聽起來製作的節奏很快

我們在這樣的節奏中試著保持創造力,不過當然也要能夠準時完成鏡頭,鏡頭進度表(shot sheet)上頭會寫一個鏡頭有幾格,也會寫你有多少時間可以做,要能夠準時交出完成的鏡頭是非常重要的,因為之後鏡頭還得要打光或製作特效等等。所以要能夠準時完成影片,就得控制好進度,雖然常常也會有我們無法預期的技術問題發生。

Shot sheet: 鏡頭進度表, 表示一個鏡頭會有幾格,也會顯示你有多少時間可以完成

Skeletal Animation



Source:http://www.3d-canvas.com/3DCanvasDocumentation/tutorialskeletalanimation.htm


Skeletal Animation is a technique used to pose character models. A skeleton is embedded in, and attached to, a character model. Once the skeleton is attached, the character model becomes the skin. Posing the skeleton causes the skin to be deformed to match the position of the underlying bones.
骨骼動畫是一種用於構成角色模型的技術。將骨架嵌入,並連接到一個角色模組。一旦骨骼連接,角色模組就成了這個骨架的皮膚。而這模擬出來的骨架將是這一句角色模型變型的依據。

Skeletal Animation has a major advantage over jointed models in that a one piece mesh is used, so there are no seams.
骨骼動畫是利用模組的網格去做變型,對節理模型具有顯著優勢,所以沒有接縫。

Motion Capture





Motion capture is defined as "The creation of a 3D representation of a live performance." in the book Understanding Motion Capture for Computer Animation and Video Games by Alberto Menache. This is in contrast to animation that is created 'by hand' through a process known as keyframing.
在書中可以了解到 Motion Capture 是用於電腦動畫以及電玩上的一種技術,他被Alberto Menache定義為"利用現場演出建立3D塑像"。相對於一般動畫製成,這是一個能利用真的"手"去揮動並且完成動畫製作。


Motion capture (AKA Mocap) used to be considered a fairly controversial tool for creating animation. In the early days, the effort required to 'clean up' motion capture data often took as long as if the animation was created by an animator, from scratch. Thanks to hard work by the manufacturers of motion capture systems as well as numerous software developers, motion capture has become a feasible tool for the generation of animation.
動作捕捉(又名Mocap)在以往製作動畫時,是個非常有爭議性的工具。在早期,這種需要努力'清理'動作捕捉數據經常發生,只要如果動畫是由一個動畫師負責,便要從頭開始。多虧了勤於動作捕捉系統以及其軟體開發的人員,動作捕捉,已成為一個廣被使用的動畫製作工具。

皮克斯動畫製作流程 2

8.場景設定 the sets are dressed
建出3D場景之後,需安置道具,像是椅子、窗簾、玩具等,創造一個可信的世界。場景設計師會和導演緊密接觸,確保他所理解和設計的結果符合導演的構想。

After constructing the 3D scene, must place the stage prop, is likely the chair, the window, the toy and so on, creates a credible world. The scene designer can contact closely with director, guaranteed that he understands and the design result conforms to the direction conception.

9.鏡頭設定 the shots are laid out
將故事轉為3D場景,陳列人員會將角色安排至場景內,並使用虛擬攝影機拍攝不同的鏡頭,捕捉情緒氛圍和故事重點。此時通常會做出各種鏡頭版本,提供給編輯部門進行剪接,發揮整個故事的內容。一旦場景剪接完成,最終的版本便會交由動畫部門安排動作。

Transfers the 3D scene the story, will exhibit the personnel the role arrangement to the scene, and will use the hypothesized camera to photograph the different lens, the capture mood atmosphere and the story key point. This time usually will make each kind of lens edition, will provide carries on the film editing for the edition department, the display entire story content. Once the scene film editing completes, the final edition will then hand over by the animation department arranges the movement.

10.畫面動作安排 the shot is animated
由於角色、模型、場景、對話、音效都已經設定完成,皮克斯動畫師們不需要進行任何繪圖的工作。他們就像演員或傀儡師,使用皮克斯的動畫軟體,他們安排每個場景的角色動作和臉部表情。使用電腦控制和角色控制點來定義這些關鍵姿勢,之後電腦則會自動做出關鍵影格之間的連續動作,但通常還是得經過動畫師的調整。

Because the role, the model, the scene, the dialog, the sound effect already established complete, Pike the Si animators do not need to carry on any cartography the work. They look like the actor or the puppet teacher, uses the Pike Si's animation software, they arrange each scene the role movement and the face expression. The use computer control and the role control point define these essential postures, afterward the computer automatically will make between the essential shade standard the consecutive action, but will usually undergo animator's adjustment.

11.場景和角色著色 sets and characters are shaded
物件的形體是由模型來決定,而表面色彩和紋理則是由著色決定。著色的過程是由"shaders"完成,這個軟體程式能作出複雜的色彩變化。

The thing physique is decided by the model, but the superficial color and the texture are by the coloring decision. The coloring process is by " shaders" Completes, this software program can make the complex color change.

12.燈光完成整個外觀 lighting completes the look
數位燈光就像舞台燈光一樣會打亮整個場景,利用主光源、補光、反射光和空間來強化各個場景的情緒和氛圍。燈光設定的靈感來源為當初藝術部門創作的彩色腳本。

Several lights will look like the stage lighting equally to hit the bright entire scene, will use the main photo source, to make up the light, the reflected light and the space strengthens each scene the mood and the atmosphere. The light hypothesis's inspiration originates the colored script which to initially the artistic department create.

13.電腦資料算圖 the computer data is "rendered"
算圖是將所有檔案資料(包括場景、色彩、角色動作等),透過皮克斯算圖農場(Renderfarm)的電腦系統,轉換成影片中的單一影格。每一個影格代表電影中的1/24秒,算圖通常需要花費四個小時,但是有些影格甚至會耗費90小時來算。

The nomographic chart is possesses the reference material (including scene, color, role movement and so on), by Pike Si the nomographic chart farm (Renderfarm) computer system, transforms in the movie the sole shade standard. Each shade standard represents in movie's 1/24 second, the nomographic chart usually needs to spend for four hours, but some shade standard will even consume 90 hours to calculate.

14.最後的潤飾 final touches are added
由編輯部監看成品,再加上電影配樂、其他音效和特殊效果,photoscience部門會錄下適合數位放映的格式畫面。

Supervises by the editorial department looks at the end product, in addition the movie will dub in music, other sound effect and the special effect, the photoscience department will take down suits several showing the form pictures.

從這些過程中,我們看到皮克斯的做事方式非常有計畫,通常都會訂出一個大方向,確保一部電影在經過多年的製作過程,不至於脫離主要架構。此外每一個步驟並非單向進行,而是經過不斷反覆的磨合,才能獲得最完美的結果。

From these processes, we saw Pike Si works the way to have the plan, usually can subscribe a general orientation, guaranteed that a movie is passing through many year manufacture processes, as for is not separated from the main construction. In addition each step carries on one way by no means that but is process unceasingly repeated wearing, can obtain the most perfect result.

DreamWorks Uses Linux-based HP Technology to Create New Animated Film "Sinbad"




HP's advanced Linux-based technology played a critical role in the creation of "Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas," the newest animated movie from DreamWorks which opens to audiences tomorrow. The first film ever created entirely on Linux, Sinbad was developed on HP workstations and industry-standard servers.
「辛巴達:七海傳奇」融合傳統與數位動畫,角色兼具手工繪製、3D動畫的視覺效果,與高解析度,而創造出在視覺令人歎為觀止的可怕怪物、混亂女神、錯綜複雜的海底景觀,以及使用特效的船隻航行。所有的核心製作工程均採用HP的Linux工作站與伺服器,顯示電影娛樂工業正展開策略性的一步,擁抱開放系統與平台的先進能力。

More than 250 HP workstations running Red Hat Linux comprised the core of DreamWorks' graphics platform. The price and high-performance advantages of Linux-based HP workstations and servers enabled DreamWorks animators to create more movie in less time, saving significant time and money.
在整部電影的製作過程中,運用了超過250台,執行Red Hat Linux系統的HP工作站組成夢工場的繪圖核心平台。HP的Linux工作站與伺服器提供高效能成本比,讓夢工場的動畫製作人員能在更快的速度製作更多的電影,節省可觀的時間與成本。

"HP understands that today, innovative technology and truly cutting-edge digital animation go hand-in-hand," said Shane Robison, chief strategy and technology officer, HP. "Our goal in our alliance with DreamWorks is to continue to deliver more inventive technology that helps DreamWorks to continue to push the envelope of possibilities in digital animation - and in the process, to help them to retain their reputation as one of the premier Hollywood animation studios."
HP的策略長與技術長Shane Robison指出:「HP瞭解在現今創新性的技術和真正尖端的數位動畫技術是密不可分的,」「我們和夢工場的策略聯盟是不斷提供更多研發的科技,使夢工場能持續創作更新數位卡通動畫的可能性,同時,在過程中協助夢工場維繫是好萊塢中數一數二動畫工作室的美譽。」


"Creating a movie that is centered on scenes with water is a huge technical challenge in digital animation, and a challenge met successfully using HP's Linux-based workstations and servers," said Martin Fink, vice president of Linux, HP Enterprise Servers and Storage. "Our customers are using the flexibility of Linux on industry-standard hardware and open systems to save money and set new standards within their industry."
「創造一部以水為中心的數位動畫電影,在技術上是一大挑戰,然而HP的Linux工作站及伺服器,成功地克服挑戰。」HP 企業儲存裝置與伺服器部門副總經理Martin Fink說。「我們的客戶運用彈性的Linux工業標準硬體及開放系統,不但大幅度節省支出,並且在電影事業中設立了一個新的里程碑。」


With HP Linux-based hardware, DreamWorks also developed Digital Animation Review Tool, an uncompressed and full resolution color accurate playback solution on the desktop. This tool replaced an Irix-based solution that was cost-prohibitive and limited in functionality. This new system is so cost effective that DreamWorks was able to build more director-review areas, which assisted in the efficiency of the production of Sinbad.
藉由HP Linux硬體設備,夢工廠發展出一套數位動畫片檢視工具,使得電腦上能呈現出沒有壓縮、全解析度正確色彩的畫面。這個工具取代了原本費用高昂,然而功能有限的Irix-based解決方案。新的系統不但具有成本效益,並且協助工作人員有效率的完成「辛巴達」的製作工作。 由於HP與夢工廠的技術合作,辛巴達劇組中的每一位畫家,都使用HP 3D加速雙螢幕工作站系統。雙螢幕的作業環境使畫家們可以同時開啟多個視窗,進而加快製作的工作流程。在以往,這種類型的作業架構,不但花費高昂,而且只有在廣泛使用的時候才會採行。不過運用HP Linux工作站,讓夢工廠在維持創作水準的同時,同時兼顧節省成本的需求。

NURBS(Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines)



Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NURBS



Development of NURBS began in the 1950s by engineers who were in need of a mathematically precise representation of freeform surfaces like those used for ship hulls, aerospace exterior surfaces, and car bodies, which could be exactly reproduced whenever technically needed. Prior representations of this kind of surface only existed as a single physical model created by a designer.
NURBS的發展始於1950年代,它是由需要像在車體和船殼中使用的自由曲面的數學上的精確表示的工程師們所發現的,它可以在任何技術上需要的時候精確的複製出來。以前這類曲面的表示只存在於設計者創建的實體模型。



The pioneers of this development were Pierre Bézier who worked as an engineer at Renault, and Paul de Casteljau who worked at Citroën, both in France. Bézier worked nearly parallel to de Casteljau, neither knowing about the work of the other. But because Bézier published the results of his work, the average computer graphics user today recognizes splines — which are represented with control points lying off the curve itself — as Bézier splines, while de Casteljau’s name is only known and used for the algorithms he developed to evaluate parametric surfaces. In the 1960s it became clear that non-uniform, rational B-splines are a generalization of Bézier splines, which can be regarded as uniform, non-rational B-splines.
該發展的先驅包括:皮埃爾·貝茲(Pierre Bézier), 他曾是Renault的工程師,以及Paul de Casteljau,他在Peugeot工作,兩個都是法國人。貝茲基本是和de Casteljau獨立發展的,兩人互相不知道對方的工作。但是因為貝茲發表了他的工作的結果,今天的一般的計算機圖形學用戶認為樣條 -- 通過在曲線上的控制點表示的那類 - 為貝茲樣條,而de Casteljau的名字僅作為他為計算參數化曲面所設計的演算法而為人所知。在1960年代,人們認識到非均勻有理基本樣條是貝茲曲線的一個推廣,而貝茲曲線可以視為非均勻有理B樣條。

We have an immediate supervisor, then the art directors, then the director. First, I show the shot to my supervisor. When my supervisor thinks it's ready, it's reviewed by the art directors (such as the lighting director, etc.). They would say do a little of this and that, and when they like it we show it to the director. At Pixar, you get to sit down right next to the director and receive suggestions and fixes. That one-on-one is a nice thing, you don't get that at all studios.

如何檢閱你的鏡頭

我們有一個直接的指導者,然後美術指導,最後導演。首先,我展示鏡頭給指導者看。當我的指導者覺得鏡頭是可以的,它會被美術指導再檢閱過(例如燈光指導…等) 他們會說做一點點這個和那個,當他們喜歡它時,我們會展示給導演看。在皮克斯,你要坐在導演旁邊,然後聽導演的建議及修改。一對一是一件很好的事情,你不用待在整個工作室裡。

《原子小金剛》是手塚治虫在 1951 年創作的漫畫作品,該作自 1963 年之後主要有三個系列的電視動畫作品,並曾在 1959 年改編成真人版日劇。 故事中「天馬博士」的兒子「飛雄」因車禍死亡,於是他以最新科技,模仿飛雄的樣貌製作了「原子小金剛」,並當做自己的兒子養育。可是,當天馬博士發現小金剛不會長高時,才發現他和真人不同,因而開始厭惡小金剛,甚至將他賣至馬戲團。

而本次運用 3D 動畫技術將《原子小金剛》,除了是由《鼠國流浪記》的導演 大衛鮑爾(David Bowers)執導之外,也將由曾作有《忍者龜:炫風再起》、《科學小飛俠》等 3D 動畫電影的「意馬國際」負責製作。而本次將為作品配音的則包括了奧斯卡影帝尼可拉斯凱吉、天才童星佛萊迪海默,以及唐納德薩瑟蘭、比爾奈伊等人。

The comic book :《Astro Boy》was created by 手塚治虫 in 1951 , since 1963 , after the three main series of television animation , and adapted into a live-action version of Japanese TV drama in 1959.

皮克斯動畫製作流程


source :http://pixar20.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-pixar-do-it.html


這裡我們要來介紹皮克斯的動畫電影是怎麼創造出來的,皮克斯官方網站裡面有十分詳細的介紹,共有14個階段(難怪一部片可以花上好幾年製作),說明皮克斯動畫工作室內部精細的分工與各個部門之間的合作關係。

Here we must introduce how the Pike Si's animation movie does create, Pike inside the Si official website has the very detailed introduction, altogether has 14 stages (no wonder a piece to be possible to spend on several year manufacture), explains Pike between the Si animation work room interior fine division of labor and each department's cooperation.

1.故事創作討論 a story idea is pitched
首先皮克斯人員會將點子提案給開發部門的其他成員,感覺很像是推銷商品,因為得要說服「觀眾」,才有機會被採用。

First Pike the Si personnel the drop proposal for development department's other members, will feel that very likely sells the commodity, because must convince “the audience”, only will then have the opportunity to use.

2.故事先以文字敘述 the text treatment is written
在著手繪圖之前,先用簡短的文字敘述來說明故事的核心概念,並在符合具體構想的情況下,由開發部門與故事板藝術家天馬行空地思考劇情發展的各種可能性,延伸出更多版本。

Before beginning the cartography, uses the brief writing narration to explain that the first story the core concept, and in tallies with in the concrete conception situation, by the development department and story board artist powerful and unconstrained style ponder plot development's each possibility, extends more editions0.

3.繪製故事板 storyboards are drawn
故事板就像是電影版的手繪漫畫,作為動作與對白設計的藍圖。每一個故事板藝術家會拿到腳本或故事大綱(beat outline),當中說明角色性情的轉變,以及如何藉由動作來表達。被分配到不同的鏡頭後,故事板則扮演引導的角色,幫助他們發想、把想法畫出來,並徵求導演檢核同意。

The story board likely is the movie version's handpainted cartoon, designs the blueprint as the movement and the dialog. Each story board artist will attain the script or the story program (beat outline), middle explained that the role personality the transformation, how as well as will express because of the movement. Assigns after the different lens, the story board acts the guidance the role, helps them to send thought that comes out the idea picture, and solicits the direction control agreement.

4.開始錄製角色配音 voice talent begins recording
一開始皮克斯的藝術家們會為之後的故事板影片,先錄製「聲音草圖("scratch" voices)」作為暫時的版本。之後才會請到專業的演員來錄製角色的聲音,他們依照腳本唸稿,但也會有即興發揮的時候。演員們(或配音員)會錄製不同的版本,再從裡面選出效果最好的來進行未來的動畫製作。有時候皮克斯藝術家們錄製的聲音草圖十分逼真,就會被延用下去,不另找專業配音員,像是皮克斯故事督導Joe Ranft就曾為玩具總動員的企鵝Wheezy、蟲蟲危機的毛毛蟲Heimlich、海底總動員的蝦蝦Jacques、汽車總動員的消防車小紅Red的配音。

From the very beginning the Pike Si's artists after the story board movie, will record “the sound schematic diagram first (" scratch" voices)” takes the temporary edition. Afterward only then welcome do record the role to the specialized actor the sound, they will read the manuscript according to the script, but will also have extemporaneously display time. The actors (or dubbing) will record the different edition, will select the effect from inside to carry on future animation manufacture well again. Sometimes Pike the Si artists record the sound schematic diagram is very lifelike, will be extended with, will look for specialized dubbing not in addition, was likely Pike the Si story directs Joe Ranft once for toy general mobilization penguin Wheezy, insects crisis's caterpillar Heimlich, seabed general mobilization shrimp shrimp Jacques, the automobile general mobilization fire engine small red Red dubbing.

5.故事板影片製作 editorial begins making reels
故事板影片是將先前的故事板剪輯而成,當初故事能被採用跟說故事的人說得好有很大的關係,所以此時故事板影片必須排除其他影響因素,來確認各個鏡頭和時間點能讓觀眾瞭解。

The story board movie was becomes the formerly story board editing, initially the story could use to said story the human said well has the very much big relations, therefore this time story board movie must remove other influencing factor, confirmed that each lens and the time spot could let the audience understand.

6.藝術部門創造外觀和感覺 the art department creates the look and feel
以最初的故事大綱為基礎,經過不斷的腦力激盪創意發想,藝術部門創造出能鼓舞人心的作品來描繪角色與世界,包括設計場景、道具、視覺外觀和色彩,並以粉彩繪製彩色腳本,強調場景中的光線安排,提供給燈光部門做為燈光設定的依據。

Take the initial story program as the foundation, passes through the unceasing mental ability to surge the creativity to send thought that the artistic department creates can the encouraging work describe the role and the world, including the design scene, the stage prop, the visual outward appearance and the color, and by the famille rose plan colored script, stressed that in the scene the optical fiber arrangement, provides for the light department does for the light hypothesis basis.

7.角色建模與骨架設定 models are sculpted and articulated
Character TD使用藝術部門提供的模型組件(一系列的圖片參考清單),建造角色、場景和道具的實體模型,再由電腦建立3D模型(有時會略過實體模型的步驟),3D模型上的控制點能讓動畫師設定角色的動作,玩具總動員的woody光是臉部就有100個控制點。

Character the TD use art department provides the model module (a series of picture reference detailed list), the construction role, the scene and stage prop's full-scale mockup, will establish the 3D model by the computer (sometimes slightly to cross full-scale mockup again step), on the 3D model's control point can let the animator establish the role the movement, the toy general mobilization woody light is the face has 100 control points.

光線 LIGHT

Pixar: Art and Design

皮克斯:藝術與設計

Bill Cone 比爾.孔恩


在汽車總動員Cars - 這部場景幾乎發生在戶外的動畫片,需精準地表現光的變化,除了用粉彩做光線研究,改變他看待光線的向度外,Bill更將攝影機架設在山上,紀錄一天24小時的天空色彩轉換的連續影像,觀察地球陰影、物體直接光照與折射受光之下的色彩變化與亮度,也發現大自然的美是超越想像的。然而日光只是各種光源的其中一種,還須區分螢光燈、街燈、車燈的差異;一種燈光與多種燈光的交互作用;車燈照射在街景的亮度呈現的遠近感;室內室外的光線、白天夜晚的改變等,再將這些細微的變化表現在彩色腳本colorscripts中,呈現整體感與和諧的漸層與明暗。

Occurs nearly in automobile general mobilization Cars - this scene in the outdoors animated cartoon, must display the light accurate the change, except uses the famille rose to do the optical fiber research, will change him to regard the optical fiber to beyond consideration, Bill the camera framework will be located on the mountain, records continual phantom which one day of 24 hour sky color will transform, will observe the Earth shadow, the object direct illumination and the refraction the light under color change and brightness, also discovered that the nature US will surmount the imagination. However the sunlight is only each kind of photo source one kind, still needs to differentiate the fluorescent lamp, the street light, headlight's difference; One kind of light and many kinds of light correlations; The headlight shines in vista brightness presents far and near feels; The indoor outdoor optical fiber, the daytime night's change and so on, displays again these slight changes in colored script colorscripts, presents the associative perception and the harmonious gradually level and the light and shade.

除了真實物件的光影變化,他們也做出角色和場景的雕塑,光線照射在陶土雕塑上的產生明暗對比,幫助他們進行更細部的觀察,而建造雕塑來模擬光線配置,不僅能獲得想要的效果,花費的成本也比電腦低。

Except the real thing's light shade change, they also make the role and the scene sculpture, the optical fiber shine in the pottery clay sculpture the production light and shade contrast, helps them to carry on the detail observation, but constructs the sculpture to simulate the optical fiber disposition, not can only obtain the wish the effect, the expenditure cost is also lower than the computer.

縝密的觀察得到的光線研究只是安排場景色調的考量因素之一,還需同時反映故事主角的心情,即便在相同的時空之下,一旦麥昆McQueen的心情轉變,也須做出不同的安排。也因此每一場景的色彩搭配,都是經過精心的規劃與安排,Bill認為使用色彩傳遞訊息是最強而有力的方式。

The meticulous observation obtains the optical fiber research only arranges one of scene tone consideration factors, but must simultaneously reflect the story lead's mood, even if under same space and time, once wheat elder brother McQueen mood transformation, must make the different arrangement. Also therefore each scene's color matching, is undergoes the careful plan and the arrangement, Bill thought that the use color bush telegraph is the most powerful way.

【海底總動員】跟之前皮克斯幾部作品相比,場景之豐富、角色之眾多都是動畫家的一大挑戰,尤其本片背景發生在海洋世界,如何表現海底場景可說是本片最大的難處,海洋場景跟陸地場景的不同,在於要表現出海中漂浮不定的洋流、隨之擺動的生物、隔著水洩下來的光線、不斷上升的氣泡…等等。皮克斯再度展現他們3D動畫龍頭長才,一一克服了本片許多難處,呈現出讓人嘆為觀止的水中世界。
Now before the Pixar【 Finding Nemo】 several works compared to the scene of the rich, the role of the large number of animated family is a major challenge, particularly in film events at Ocean World, how the performance of undersea scenes can be described as the largest film difficulties, ocean scene with the scene on land is different from the performance of the sea lies adrift in the ocean currents, resulting swing of biological, separated by water leakage down the light, rising air bubbles ... and so on. Pixar once again demonstrate their talent for leading 3D animation(動畫), film Individual has overcome many difficulties, showing amazing water in the world.


其實皮克斯過去曾在1989年推出過一部短篇動畫作品【Knick Knack】,當時就有表現過水中場景,然而礙於當時技術,不像如今【海底總動員】裡所表現的這般流暢,但沒有當初的研發就沒有如今的成果。因此這次皮克斯特別把這部短片搭配【海底總動員】正片一同上映,算是紀念該片當初製作水中場景的啟蒙。

In fact, Pixar in the past in 1989 had a short animated works【Knick Knack】, the performance over time, some water scenes, but because of the technology at that time, unlike today 【Finding Nemo】, where the performance is so smooth, but there is no original research and development there would be no today's results. Therefore, the Pixar short film with a special effort to【 Finding Nemo】 positive film with release can be regarded as produced to commemorate the original film scene in the water of enlightenment.

3D rendering


source : http://pixar20.blogspot.com/2009/07/3d-computer-graphics.html


3D動畫的製作流程通常可大略分為三個階段:建模與材質貼圖、場景動作設定、算圖。建模(3D modeling)的意義就像傳統的實體雕塑,差別在於技術,它是透過3D建模工具與軟體的操作,塑造角色的型態、骨架的過程;再經由材質貼圖的步驟,將紋理質感、色彩變化等附蓋在模型之上(有時此步驟會到比較後面才做決定)。

the 3D animation's manufacture flow usually may greatly slightly divide into three stages: The modelling and the material quality paste the chart, the scene movement hypothesis, the nomographic chart. Modelling (3D modeling) the significance looks like traditional the entity sculpture, the difference lies in the technology, it is penetrates the 3D modelling tool and the software operation, the mold role state, skeleton's process; Pastes chart again by way of the material quality the step, (sometimes the texture sense of reality, the color change and so on will attach covers this step will arrive at behind comparison above the model only then decision making).

場景動作設定(layout and animation)則是將上個階段完成的建模放置於場景中,形成與空間的關係,根據腳本的規劃,安排角色的動作與週遭環境的互動。有了角色與場景,仍不能稱做動畫,得經過最後一個階段-算圖,才能完成。

The scene movement hypothesis (layout and animation) is the modelling which completes a on stage lays aside in the scene, forms with the spatial relations, according to script plan, arrangement role movement and all around environment interaction. Had the role and the scene, still could not be called as the animation, must pass through the last stage - nomographic chart, can complete.

算圖(也就是渲染,3D rendering)是將前面兩個步驟產生的結果,透過電腦程式的演算,轉換成動畫影像的形式。在這個過程中,必須顧及整體的燈光與氣氛,光線如何游移在角色身上,而角色本身又是如何與光線產生交互作用,以及透過觀看角度的操控,將3D的物件場景捕捉成視覺上可觀賞的2D影像。以皮克斯來說,每格動畫(1/24秒)需要耗時六小時來算圖,但像是怪獸電力公司裡面的毛怪,他身上二百三十萬根藍綠色毛髮的柔軟飄逸,就是電腦以每格十一小時的時間來算圖,而每當毛怪走動便創造出不同方向的毛髮波動,都是極大的工程。

The nomographic chart (is also exaggerates, 3D rendering) is the result which has the front two steps, by computer program's calculation, transforms the animation phantom the form. In this process, can take into consideration the whole the light and the atmosphere, how the optical fiber to waver on the role body, but how does the role itself also have the correlation with the optical fiber, as well as by the onlooking angle's control, catches the 2D phantom which the 3D thing scene in the vision may watch. By Pike Si, each standard animation (1/24 second) needs to last for six hours to come the nomographic chart, but is inside monster Electricity company's Mao Guai likely, on his body 2,300,000 cyan color hairs soft elegant, is the computer comes the nomographic chart by each standard 11 hour time, but whenever Mao Guai takes a walk then creates the different direction the hair fluctuation, is the enormous project.

You wear many hats at Pixar-you're both a director of photography and co-writer and -director of the short film One Man Band. First, tell me more about your work as a director of photography.

As director of photography for The Incredibles, I helped provide for director Brad Bird detailed story reels with camera moves and temporary effects before it went into production (this is also known as animatics). Because I have a background in live action, my role was to create that natural imperfection in the shots that people are used to seeing. Computers make everything perfect, so I would add the effect of what it would look like if a guy were holding a camera and it were real. I added camera shakes, imperfections and rotations to give a dynamic edge to the scenes. I would also supervise and work with the animators and layout, and supervise the transition of camera movement into 3-D.


在皮克斯,你戴很多帽子。你是《許願池》的攝影導演兼聯合作者及短片導演。首先,告訴我更多有關你當一個攝影導演的工作。

身為超人特攻隊的攝影導驗,在它進入到製作之前,我幫忙提供布萊德博德導演電影故事細節的膠捲和暫時的效果。(這也就是所知的動態腳本) 因為我有實況播送情節的背景,我的角色在攝影中去創造人們通常看得到的自然瑕疵。電腦使每件事都很完美,所以我增加點它看起來像假如有個人正在拿著攝影機攝影的效果。 在螢幕上有了力學的優勢,我增加了攝影機震動,瑕疵和旋轉。我也監督和動畫家一起工作及版面編排,並且監督把攝影機裡的影像轉換到3-D影像。
