ABSTRACT
She's back! This time Cruella's evil scheme is undone by Oddball, the little heroine of 102 Dalmatians. The spot-less Dalmatian was produced by Disney's The Secret Lab, whose original strategy was to digitally remove spots from live action puppies and create a CG character for challenging stunt shots. However, daunting spot removal necessitated a totally believable CG puppy for extreme close ups.Painstaking attention was paid to Oddball's face and expressive eyes. Muscle and skin techniques derived from Dinosaur attached muscle to bone and skin for realistic motion and a proprietary new shader was used to finesse the puppy's fur. Copyright held by creator.
