fxguidetv #165: Scott Metzger on MARI and HDR



Visual effects artist Scott Metzger demonstrates how he used a special build of The Foundry's MARI tool to project HDR set-captured environment data onto geometry. The work was done for director Richard LaGravenese's Beautiful Creatures, coming out in 2013.

Create CG environments using 11k hdrs projected using Mari onto geometry built from lidar sourced point clouds, rendered in VRay. Using a tool from Geomagic for lidar point data clean up and Maya for tweaking the geometry.
