MPC Film - Creating Scar - Characters of The Lion King
Фильм және анимация
To create Scar, the team began with referencing concept art to guide
the design of the character. The modelling team used this art and photography of lions to find Scar’s shapes and form. After the modelling process, the groom work, rigging and shading began at an early
stage, in parallel with render tests showing the character with fur and textures. The rigging tools continually developed as the project went along, from the real time virtual production rigs, to detailed muscle and skin workflows.
The animation and rigging teams worked together to build on previous systems. Focus was placed on Scar’s nuances from his subtle facial animation, realistic snarls and wrinkles to what happens to the skin and fur as his claws retract. A high level of detail was placed on his eyes and the skin surrounding them, the team even brought in veterinary specialists to learn specificity about the structure. Muscle simulation tools were developed to have greater connectivity with Scar’s skeleton, this allowed us to collide soft tissue with skeleton which helped to preserve correct anatomy and volume.
To make Scar’s fur look as lifelike as possible, a ground-up rewrite of the studio’s fur shader was worked on, as well as melanin-based colour palettes for the artists to use. Groom FX simulations were developed to create realistic effects for wind and rain interactions.
For Scar’s animation, the team studied hundreds of hours-worth of reference clips from Planet Earth, a shoot in Kenya and footage taken at Animal Kingdom to achieve a new level of detail in terms of the characters performance. Scar was entirely key frame animated and crafted entirely by hand. Human facial muscles are very different to that of a Lion’s and so Scar’s facial animation required a great deal of artistic judgment to convey his emotions without losing the realism of a Lion. The animation process was very time consuming, requiring numerous iterations to get to the right level of performance and believability.

It takes the passion to go into animation and to do something like this.
One of the most underrated animation work.. This is the first time I can really see the expressions in the face of the animated characters and most realistic talking animals which didn't look artificial or awkward.

Sir Goose nevermind you said the movements were really realistic. In the jungle book the animals look more real than in this one cause the lions look a little bit fake. The tiger in the jungle book looks fake too, but his ear moves like an actual tiger which is crazy

Mostly they wanted to portray as close to nature as possible, animals tend to express themselves through body language and in the remake you can tell that. In nature a lion smiling for example actually is a sign of hostility, so it wouldn't be accurate for the remake that wanted to try animating the lions like real life animals.
@eddiex009

@@Wolf-Chalk the problem is that body language doesnt works as they tought, in fact, reminds me to those old movies where they add a moving mouth to real life animals, as a movie they have to show emotions, as in the mufasa death I agree in that they look very realistic and that is a great achievement for the studio.

Everyone hates the new lion king remake. I guess it's because none of the characters look like the original but I hope they realize the remake is going for more realism in lions instead of cartoony
Amazing how creative MPC are 🥰
Incredible work. 👍🏽
Sheesh this looks so photorealistic!!
this movie should won the best visual effects

And of course, there are many stupid people who are still complaining about the animation being rigged without details they have zero ideas on how hard it's to make these rigs & animations, But for me it was extremely acceptable to the point where you can't even tell if it's real or not they really did a good job!

Seeing these detailed lion models have rigging pieces amazes me :0 I have rigged a wolf recently and I can tell you, it’s a lot of work and can be difficult. Seeing how well they rigged Scar and Simba is astonishing!! So fluid and life like 😶
Omg that's amazing!
That is so awesome!!!!
I might have to watch it just for the CG / Animation aspect.
I'm wondering if "Ziva FX" was used in Maya to create deformities and muscle jiggles to sell the weight and on these animations. Wasn't a fan of the film, but the animations on these creatures were magnificent. Props to all the animators who worked really hard on the film. I applaud you guys!
Awesome of the big cats in Disney, thanks
Gives me Westworld vibes in the sense that you can control something so realistic
Wow this is really a hardworked movie.

Everyone is complaining that the animals in the remake have no facial expression , this video show that the models show movement , it's just that those expressions were never seen the light of day thanks to john favro
It’s sad that they don’t add the music in some of the Live action Movies
Awesome!
Imagine what Jurassic World would’ve been like if the dinosaurs were animated by MPC instead of ILM regardless of animatronics. I bet they would have looked a lot more realistic.
It is a shame that while everyone was hating the movie no one gave respect to the modeling artists. They did a great job, even though it hasn't any mimic like the original movie had. I guess those people deserved more respect.
perrrfect !!! !! !
