Vray Used in Tron Legacy
As a Proud Vray Users, Rendersmart are always pleased to see the same technology used in our organisation put to extream use in so many of the major movies produced today like transfromers and the new Tron Legacy.
V-Ray used in Joseph Kosinski's Tron: Legacy Chaos Group’s V-Ray rendering engine was used for the creation of the Tron world in Joseph Kosinki's latest movie Tron: Legacy. “The digital imagery was mostly rendered in V-Ray”, says Karl Denham, sequence supervisor for the head replacement at Digital Domain for an interview with FX Guide. "The lighting on Benjamin Button was all very poetic but on this film the lighting was a much darker and harsher environment and that made it, I'd say, tremendously harder to light the head as you are literally shining huge amounts of very stark light on this character, in a sci-fi futuristic way," comments Denham. ”Four separate software rendering programs were used in the making of the film: Mental Ray (for Clu, an anthropomorphized computer program that looks like a youthful Jeff Bridges), V-Ray (for the Tron world), RenderMan (for various technical elements) and proprietary code developed at visual effects studio Digital Domain to connect the disparate programs”, says Kosinski in an interview for Fast Company.
