This is the closing shot of the film "Kraken -Tentacles of the Deep" we did here at Worldwide-FX. I did everything on the shot except the compositing. That includes: Tracking - I used Realviz Matchmover ; Modelling of the squids - Lightwave3D. The shading and the textures was the hard part. I made sub-surface scattering shader; a little big for these little creatures texture.. I think it was something about 4k; and after that animated the translucency and the little dots appearing over the skin of the creatures. The animation and the rigging was not a big deal - it has procedural animation for the wings. I only keyframe animated the tentacles. The lighting and rendering was done in several passes /sss, mainlight, occlusion, specular, diffuse / for better control in post. Any C&C are more then welcome!
