The project
To recreate a forest with vegetation that is realistic, believable, and as close to reality as possible, even though it has the shape of a brain, you must study the plant world extensively. You need to research different types of trees to understand whether tropical or non-tropical varieties would work better. And that’s exactly what we did. We delved into trunks, leaves, branches, and colors, opting for a blend of tropical plants.
We then worked on the sizes and proportions, adding other natural elements like rivers, parrots, birds, and flowers.
All of these elements also come to life in the sound design, with the sound of the wind rustling through the forest, creating a serene sense of peace and well-being.
LAYOUT EXPLORATION
To achieve a uniform distribution of trees within the hemispherical brain shape from a top-down perspective, we purposefully designed the forest with sparser tree arrangement at the outer edges and denser concentration at the center.
From layout to 3D
This workflow facilited the rapid transformation of the images, allowing us to efficiently generate multiple iterations and make deep production changes that would be too costly in a traditional CG pipeline.
Ecco un brakedown della costruzione della foresta: il film ha richiesto la realizzazione di vari punti di vista e una successiva divisione a layer.
And, finally, the brain forest
An image that diverges from the typical medical imagery, making it more intriguing and magical.
