Framestore | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 - Knowhere VFX mini breakdown | Framestore @FramestoreOfficial | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
Framestore was no (know?) stranger to Knowhere, the Guardians’ epic, neon-lit HQ.
While the MCU’s first iteration had relied heavily on DMP, VFX Supervisor Stephane Nazé and his team adopted a different approach when rebuilding the Thanos-ravaged (and soon-to-be Adam Warlock-ravaged) city.
“This time around we built Knowhere in 3D” explains Nazé. “This gave us incredible flexibility, and meant the camera could be placed anywhere at any moment and matched seamlessly.”
Knowhere was effectively divided into three sub-environments: the set extensions connecting to the plate photography, additional digital set dressing, and the details found in the distance. "This allowed us to fine-tune any part of the environment while optimising render time,” says Nazé. “We were able to use the environment’s geometry to our advantage and only render what was specifically required for the shot in question.”
