Ideas for practice

This breakdown is a Framely learning notes based on type of work and discipline. It does not claim to describe the exact steps followed on this project when the artist has not published them.

See the full pipeline

01

Define behavior

Decide what the system should do, what rules are artistically important, and what parameters should remain controllable.

02

Build the system

Create the procedural network, attributes, constraints or simulations that generate movement and shapes.

03

Direct result

Iterate on timing, scale, forces, collisions, caches and composition to leave the simple technical result.

04

Lookdev, rendering & comp

Illuminate, make the passes useful then integrate the effect into the final image with photographic consistency.
