Visual Effects (VFX)
매 한 줄
"매 photoreal pixel 의 industrial pipeline" . VFX 는 live-action 또는 fully-CG 의 photoreal imagery 를 modeling/animation/sim/lighting/comp 의 multi-stage pipeline 으로 production. 매 2026 현재 USD (Universal Scene Description) 가 interchange standard, AI-assisted (gen AI rotoscope, neural rendering, Nerf/Gaussian Splatting) 가 mainstream.
매 핵심
매 Pipeline 단계
Pre-vis : Unreal/Maya 로 shot block-out, camera blocking.
Modeling/Sculpting : Maya, Blender, ZBrush, Houdini.
Look-dev : Substance Painter, Mari, USD MaterialX.
Rigging/Animation : Maya, Blender — keyframe + mocap (Vicon, Xsens, Move.ai).
FX/Sim : Houdini (pyro/FLIP/Vellum/RBD), Embergen (real-time), Phoenix FD.
Lighting : Katana, Houdini Solaris, USD-based.
Rendering : Arnold, Renderman, Karma XPU, Redshift, Octane — path tracing.
Compositing : Nuke (대세), After Effects (motion graphic), Fusion.
매 2026 modern stack
USD + Hydra : Pixar 시작, 매 cross-DCC interchange standard.
MaterialX : shader 의 portable language.
OpenColorIO (OCIO) v2 : color management standard.
Gaussian Splatting / NeRF : photogrammetry replacement, real-time renderable plates.
AI rotoscope : Runway / SAM-based, manual roto 시간 90% 단축.
Generative comp tools : Nuke CopyCat (custom ML node), Nuke Smart Vectors.
매 응용
Feature film VFX (Marvel, Avatar, Dune sequels).
Episodic streaming (House of the Dragon, Foundation).
Virtual production (Mandalorian-style LED volumes — Disguise, ROE).
Commercials, music videos.
Game cinematics (Riot, Blizzard).
💻 패턴

Houdini FLIP fluid sim (HScript / Python)
Nuke comp tree (Python)

매 결정 기준
상황
Approach
Feature film hero asset
Maya + Substance + Arnold/Renderman
Heavy FX (fluid/destruction)
Houdini + Karma XPU
Episodic, fast iteration
Blender + Cycles, USD pipeline
Virtual production
Unreal Engine 5.5 + nDisplay + LED volume
Set extension / digital double
Gaussian Splatting + traditional CG hybrid
Color management
OCIO v2 + ACES 1.3
기본값 : USD-centric pipeline + Houdini for FX + Nuke for comp + ACES color + AI-augmented (SAM2 roto, gsplat plates).
🔗 Graph
🤖 LLM 활용
언제 : HScript/Python boilerplate, Nuke node tree generation, USD layer authoring, shot breakdown drafts.
언제 X : artistic look-dev decisions, supervisor-level pipeline design.
❌ 안티패턴
No version control : shot file overwrite chaos → USD layers + Perforce/SVN + ShotGrid.
Color space ignorance : sRGB linear mix → ACES + OCIO 강제.
Render farm without checkpoint : long sim crash 의 zero recovery → simulation cache + autosave.
Manual roto for everything : 매 SAM2/Runway 로 80% 자동화 가능.
Skipping pre-vis : shoot 이후 VFX 가 impossible 한 plate 발견 → previs 필수.
🧪 검증 / 중복
Verified: Pixar USD docs, SideFX Houdini docs, Foundry Nuke docs, ACES Central, VES Handbook of Visual Effects (3rd ed).
신뢰도 A.
