This term’s background fundamentals is on Tech We Love: and we are starting by looking at Deep Compositing. The concept is closely aligned to that of Deep Shadows the hugely influential 2000 Pixar Siggraph paper by Tom Lokovic and Eric Veach. So much so that when we came to film some elements to help explain it this week – we used as the base of the shot a set of Siggraph Conference Proceedings.
Deep compositing is one of the most interesting new developments in compositing in years, companies like Weta Digital, Animal Logic and Dr D studios are all working with Deep Composite pipelines. Not only are we doing an in-depth BKD class but we have decided to do a summary introductory fxguidetv on the topic as well. Deep Compositing is very much like the addition of Normal map passes to Multi-pass compositing – and like Normal Maps it allows seemingly 3D only style operations to be done to rendered passes as part of the final 2D composite.
