Sean,
Every major 3D software package, it seems, was used on that, Mask, and some
other movies. And naturally at NAB all their booths (except NewTek's) were
showing endless loops of scenes their products contributed to even though they
may not have created the scene and objects in its entirety.
BTW, the WaveFront dynamics package and particle package (essentially a fluid
mechanics modeler) are WONDERFUL. Point-click to set the physical properties,
do a quick wireframe anim to adjust little things like gravity field gradients
spring force 'length' and constant, even material hardness for deformation and
whether the deformation is elastic or not. Unbelievable. So's the price.
About $20K for each option package. Outa my league – at least until Speilberg
gives me that big contract… ;^}
