When Physics Paints: Cinematography of Stylized Film
Video on demand
What happens when illustrative watercolor hits an ocean surface?
How do you mix stylized painterly reflections, inside a physically based scene?
When you have physically based glass, how does it refract stylized linework?
We dive deeper with stylization integration inside a physically based path tracer, to give artists the creative freedom to deeply integrate stylization with physically based rendering.
Using feature film and R&D projects in Stylization in the past year, we showcase new advancements with Stylization in indirect illumination propagating through the 3d path tracer.
