Abstract

Responsible for the entire third act battle, Weta Digital's work focused on the build and subsequent destruction of the interior of Planet Ego, a complex structural environment based on Mandelbulb fractal. Over 50% of Weta's shots required fx work including the creation of Ego's human form that surrounds his celestial framework - achieved using a clever growth system.
