(Video from Pixar explaining their process behind the film)
This is the process of how the movie, The Incredibles 1 was simulated before its production. The process of the visual creation of the main characters are made with sketches by designers and is sent off to the animator. The animator then takes the design to simulate one of the scenes on the digital screen. The simulation is a graphically computed shape with certain motions of the characters’ body parts. To make the movie dynamic as it is, a lot of testing and iterations were made through this technology. Their concept of making a normal guy into some powerful character was planned within this platform. I was inspired by their process work that heavily utilized 3D computer graphics since this movie was produced in 2004. I was quite surprised that they had innovative simulations more than a decade ago. Also, The Incredibles is one of my favorite films so it was interesting to take a look at their work behind the project.
