On May 3, Ntropic<\/a> Creative Director and Founder Nate Robinson and artist Marco Brambilla<\/a> showed a different side of Autodesk Flame<\/a> and Autodesk Maya<\/a> with \u201cCreation,\u201d the conclusion to Brambilla\u2019s 3D video collage \u201c[Megaplex]\u201d trilogy. With a total of 1500 visual elements from iconic films, the duo tested the technological boundaries to create the extraordinary 3D visual effects for \u201cCreation.\u201d The stunning exhibit filled the pews of the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral.<\/p>\n

\n\"Brambilla%20Event\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As described by the artist, \u201cCreation\u201d takes the viewer on a spiraling trajectory that begins with a big bang and continues through embryonic inception, idyllic Eden-like bliss and decadences, and culminates in annihilation \u2013 only then to re-invent itself. Throughout the video, several images form a hyper-realistic landscape of clouds, meadows and burning cityscapes, against which the cycle of the human endeavor unfolds.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Creation\u2019 is a fitting finale to Marco\u2019s trilogy; it\u2019s a masterwork that tells an engaging story through a collage of artfully curated visual moments,\u201d said Robinson. \u201cWe pushed the technology to the limit to create an immersive 3D art experience and applied some of the same techniques and tools that we use on commercial and music video projects to help realize Marco\u2019s vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ntropic team leaned on the stereoscopic toolset in Autodesk Flame. To create a cohesive narrative from 1500 video clips, Ntropic custom designed a digital rotoscoping (an animation technique where artists trace over footage to then use in live-action and animated films) pipeline with Flame at the core. The team also relied extensively on Maya to create a high volume of 3D elements that appear throughout the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cCreation\u201d is the third in a trilogy of 3D videos that started with \u201cCivilization (Megaplex)\u201d 2008 and \u201cEvolution (Megaplex),\u201d 2010.<\/p>\n
