[Riot Art Contest] - JF Hereng

jf_hereng

Hey there, I play LoL for 3 years and I work in VFX for animation movies, so I'm in !

For the first spell I imagine something with energy.

I'll work with Maya/nuke

I'm posting some ref for my spell.

PS : sorry for my english i'm French.

Cool stuff. Are you going to transfer any of this over into an engine through flipbook textures?

jf_hereng

I think i'll use nParticles and driving with fluid and curlNoise. All dynamics in Maya, render with mentalRay and compositing with Nuke.

for the impact maybe something like this : https://vimeo.com/81277405

So wait, you can use simulations as VFX? :S i just assumed it would be presented is some kind of realtime package.

jf_hereng

We have to deliver images, they dont care how it's made. The technique you have to use it's not specified.

Hello i'm french too, you will use Krakatoa for your fx?

Visceral

Then i suggest you read the contest description again. It says
"Submit a render in Quicktime H264 format from the front, side and ¾ views"

But you are correct they dont mention if it has to be realtime or not.

jf_hereng

After nuke I'll render with Premiere in Quicktime H264 like I make for all my video in vimeo. I dont see where is the problem ?

jf_hereng

Med3d2dfx yes maybe or just use many particles ^^

iangoold3d

I think it does have to be in real time.

I have some vfx questions too:

- Even if we can do the entry in any software, are there any limitations on the tech? For example, I guess fluid sim is out of the question for realtime. Are we limited to particles? Meshes? etc

We are not discouraging the use of fluid simulation software however we DO encourage conveying the practical application into a game engine. For example, creating a flip-book out of an amazing fluid simulation. Always keep in mind the art direction of League of Legends.

- Should we deliver an interactive executable to show it is indeed realtime?

That is not required.

- Can we create our own custom shaders for the effect?

Absolutely.
