DESIGN: The London Underground map is one of the most iconic examples of design thinking in the world. Designed by Harry Beck in 1931, the map was inspired by circuit diagrams. Now, the map could be getting a revamp!
VFX: Peregrine Labs’ YETI is a powerful tool (Maya Plugin) for creating procedural fur and geometry. Yeti 4.0 is here and the features are amazing.
VFX: Weta Digital’s Anders Langlands (Visual Effects Supervisor) and Simeon Duncombe (Animation Supervisor) break down the Darkseid battle in the Snyder Cut, explain how this is different from the Whedon Cut, and show the different visual effects and motion capture they used to make it happen.
