Speakeasy Ingress-Progress
🕑 Added 2022-07-11 22:00:23 +0000 UTCWe've all been pretty excited about how the speakeasy is looking in the comp process. It's awaiting a few more lighting tweaks and some atmospheric hazy smoke, but this is the almost-final version.
There's a full size video version here, since it gets crunched pretty badly in GIF format.
There's also a video of the image below, featuring the multitude of steps it took to get to this stage.
The #6 Compositing step is abbreviated to Animation and Background, but it's really more involved than that. A whole lot of ambient lighting, color adjustment, finagling shadow tone and density, atmospherics and effects, highlights and things of that nature go into it as well.

The background characters are distance models - they are a bit lighter on line weight and details like whiskers and pin-stripes. They also have simpler lighting drawn onto them. The animation is vector art, so the animators can zoom in and detail them out without restraint, but lots of detail tends to just muddle things that are small within a scene. Lower detail actually makes it easier to discern the character overall, as it mimics the way our eyes naturally perceive things in the distance.

NICE (though I have to admit Niantic + Craftar has tainted the word "ingress" for me)

Keep up the great work team!
This is so amazing to see! The characters in the distance, are they drawn full size and composited in smaller or are they drawn to scale? I’m just curious if you have to use different line weight to make it look right?
