“Henry Cavill as ‘Geralt of Rivia’.. Once I dived into it, I kept asking myself every step along the way: “How can I do this in a different manner and find ways to do it faster?” So rather than just racing for the finish, I took it slow to do a bit of R&D using Houdini, Substance and RenderMan after the likeness was achieved. Houdini's scattering and groom toolsets enabled me to take on many non-destructive procedural approaches as opposed to the linear, traditional ones, especially while working on the snow-covered cloak. This also proved to be the perfect chance to try out some cinematic lighting and comp.”
