Nike - The Ball Makes Us More. Feat. F.C. Barcelona
The Nike Barcelona FC stadium job is the most advanced stadium job I've been a part of. It was meticulously tracked, simulated, lit and seamlesly integrated into the plate.
My main responsibilty was the asset preperations. After the scans of the 'fans' were created, they all had to be retopologised, UVd, textured and animated. Using mo-cap data and an fbx transfer system into Houdini's crowd agent set-up, all the characters were able to be brought to life. Once in Houdini, the amount of shots we had to get through in a short amount of time meant setting up an efficient pipeline in order to import the animations, caching the crowd and converting them into proxies. This was brilliantly set-up by me colleagues and I was merely processing some of the caches once it was set-up.
