Pixologic is pleased to bring you the second half of our two-part series of John Carter interviews. In this part we spoke with Kevin Hudson from Double Negative.

Great interview and very informative. It's great to see the concept taken into the full production at grand scale! Also Love the 3 layers of Displacement trick. Very innovative.

I can just concur, thank your Pixologic, Kevin Hudson for that great interview man.:) Totally loved the article and really is very useful for a beginner/student like me to get such great production pipeline infos! Watched the movie already and I really liked the concepts of the Thark World.
Best,

These are great! Is there anyway you can provide the entire article in pdf downloadable format? And maybe include a zip archive of all the high res images?

Great interview, very informative! Would have liked to see at least one character wireframe though...

Also, the muscle/skin/vein layer separation is something I've been thinking about before, combined with an automatic tension map to mask intensities - unfortunately the project got canceled... Good to hear it works in practice, although the workflow seems quite a bit more complicated than I thought :)

Thanks to Kevin for all this great technical details, it is extremely interesting to understand the technical need of the pipeline and the how to join the artistic side to the task.
