Week 2
Mentors Feedback
-
Define what we are trying to communicate with the product
-
More elegant way of seeing inside headset
-
Contrast between actual reality and VR imagery
-
Chip shot and headset shot are contradictory, feels like showing two products.
To do list
-
Revise the story and remove things that not needed(meta head, cpu card), focusing on VR headset.
-
Create a new 3D previs based on the comments. Pay attention to the camera transitions, timing etc.
-
From FX part, since we are not doing particles for meta head and cpu anymore, I will work with my teamate together with adding more blooming effects.
Story Update - by group members
The film shows a user fully immersed in a VR world where nature comes alive.
As the experience ends, the plants retreat back into the headset, and the room returns to a quiet, minimal reality.
The contrast highlights VR as a brief escape—an experience that allows the user to truly live in the moment.
FX Tests
Temporary render test to show some details

Technical Breakdown
-
Create the basic shape of the petal, then add some noises and displacement using attributevop
-
Then, I set up a KineFX skeleton for the petals and used Capture Proximity to bind the geometry for deformation
-
Vellum simulation was layered on top of the rigged animation to introduce soft, organic behavior and secondary deformation in the petals.
