“Myth: A Frozen Tale” - Stylized Effects for Real-Time VR

Abstract

With “Frozen 2” wrapped in late summer 2019, a small team of effects artists set out to learn an entirely new element creation pipeline, utilizing real-time technology at its core. These artists were able to build upon experience gained from previous VR efforts at the studio including “Cycles” [Gipson et al. 2018] and “a kite’s tale” [Wright et al. 2019]. With an aggressively short schedule and the unflagging support of their Myth peers, the team created uniquely stylized artwork using a new palette of tools to help translate these designs into real-time effects.
