Eye candy: Main Road|Post’s Stalingrad VFX reel
Moscow-based VFX house Main Road|Post has released a great breakdown reel of its VFX work on Stalingrad. According to Wikipedia, the Russian war drama is the first non-US film produced in IMAX format.
The studio notes that the effects were “complex work in Houdini – [a] mix of hard simulations, displacement, procedural texturing and shading”. A pretty good calling card for both facility and software, we reckon.
