Hi everyone,

Thank you so much on the great comments. It feels good to hear all this.

It was such a pleasure working with the whole team and supervising this project.
It's not every day you get a project with  great script for a good cause, with 
good schedule and have time to RnD so much stuff.
It was roughly 3 to 4 months of work, to get tools done and spot out of the 
door.
Seriously we couldn't have done it without ICE in the time we had.
I am always looking at any software for commercial, to get things done to a 
really high quality level, in a short amount of time, and i still can't find 
anything which can beat the combination XSi, ICE and Arnold.

Everything on this project used ICE, from rig, muscle, skin, hair, rendering.

I started early test on skin with syflex and handover to Jimmy with Verlet 
which was much faster while I was carrying on and finishing the muscle system 
and leading the project.
Jimmy was working on the grooming of the hair and did a lot of super awesome 
compounds and scripts (yes he is being very modest). Dave did an amazing work 
on the hair interaction in a couple of weeks... like proper Siggraph paper 
staff... to get the stiffness and collision of the hairs right.

On the muscle, it was one very simple and generic muscle which had a lot of 
control to expend to more complex shapes and dynamic.
It was extremely fast, and could control stiffness, handles, tangeant, jiggle 
and more, through few parameters and weight maps.
The main strength was the speed to setup the whole body. I just needed to place 
each muscles close to the skeleton geometry and they would stick to it 
automatically: zero rigging involved.

Anyway XSi and ICE are awesome, i know i don't need to convince you guys.
It's not just about the software it's a lot about the talents and people, but 
seriously...XSi/ICE help a lot!

Thanks again for the feedback everyone.

Can you talk a bit about the skin collision with the muscles? Did you go
with a plain raycast or something more fancy? :)

Interesting especially to hear how you have used the old hair to groom - I
also find the ICE hair tools coming short in that respect.

RE: Mill 98 Human

[Szabolcs Matefy]

OMG. Very emotional piece, and great technical info. It'd be nice to see
a screenshot of the facial rig J

 

So basically, the hair was based upon XSI Hair, and Melena was used to
create the final look? Melena is great, it's a shame that it is
discontinued. I am very interested in the muscle rig as well, I've seen
the weightmap is "animated" during the walk cycle. It's some kind of
stressmap?

 

Amazing piece, I hope one day Mill will make a tutorial book...

Just to add to what Jimmy nicely rounded up: the facial animation rig
was pretty much all done with envelope deformers rather than blend
shapes. Chimp lips are surprisingly flexible so having the deformers
being driven by curves was certainly the way to go with that.

 

The eyelids were also controlled with nulls looking at curves so the
animators could define pretty much exactly what kind of shape they
wanted - there's a lot of nice, subtle movement in them which is pretty
much all down to their keen eyes and decision-making, really. Not much
of it was automated so they did a really nice job - pretty much
everything you see was something they chose to move, I just gave them
the option!

 

Throw on a few sticky controls in key areas for secondary movement and
you've pretty much got it as far as the control rig went. Then off it
went to Vince's muscle system (though by that stage I unfortunately had
to head back to the UK office, so I never got to see the cool stuff in
action).

Re: Mill 98% Human

you cached the strands to icecache? alembic?

we found issues with motion blur if you didn't cache the strands and we use
the same process.

Thanks everyone.

The hair was nothing revolutionary. It was using the Melena set up to
convert the XSI hair to curves, then the curves to strands.  It wasnt
fast. It's just a lot easier to groom that way, using the built in hair
system. Especially using a lowrez hair set up and copy styles to a highrez
set up. So that is what you saw on the behind the scenes.

The basic groom was combed the old school way, then layers of ICE
manipulations on top of that to get more variation, color dynamics etc.

Dave Barosin helped in getting the hair dynamics to work with a pretty
ingenious set up.

Vince built the muscle setup which I'm not really able to comment on too
much. He handed a cache of that geometry over to me, and I had a skin
simulation stage that is basically a verlet set up that conforms to the
muscles. It was used mostly for the body, but was also used sparingly on
the face. (the stuff you see in the behinds the scenes is
an embarrassingly old test scene, but you can see the verlet wrinkles)

The face was largely done with maps to drive deformation at render time.
Based on the compression and stretch of the underlying geometry.

Rendered in Arnold. With Keven Ives and Thomas Bardwell handling most of
the shading and lighting.

Wouldn't mind to see some more on all the stuff done for this, like

Re: Mill 98% Human

[Eric Thivierge]

You guys using the XSI Hair tools as a base to control the strands 
though? Why I ask is that there was a point in the making of where it 
looked like the artist grabbed the end point and was going to move it 
around to style just like the Shave setup. Or was that an actual curve 
object?

The first time I played heard the VO only, without the video I thought it was
