I built the CG symbiote, integrated it into the live-action lab plates and animated the sneaker's transformation from white to black.
01 Symbiote
The first crawl test in clay, to lock timing and the path to the sneaker.
The same shot in the final look, lit to match the lab.
02 Escape
Tendrils climb out around the canister. Blocked in clay first.
Full-CG shot, built from scratch.
The mass in the beaker comes alive and tendrils break out. Blocked in clay first.
The same shot in the final look.
03 Transformation
The symbiote wraps the sneaker and leaves it black. Timing set in the playblast.
The final shot delivered to the client.
The transformation driven by Geometry Nodes, shown three times faster than real time.
04 Geometry Nodes
One of the node setups behind the symbiote: tendrils grow along curves, pick up animated noise and turn into a glossy volume mesh. The full system is several setups like this one.
