Suspension of disbelief: Animating believable 3D nebula visual effects utilising real-time technology

(2021) Suspension of disbelief: Animating believable 3D nebula visual effects utilising real-time technology. Master of Philosophy by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This practice-based research aimed to investigate and identify the key aesthetic and technical considerations for the creation of believable, real-time 3D nebula VFX as an individual animation practitioner. Real-time technology was utilised as an advancement of traditional VFX practices, improving the quality of outcomes through more creative control, faster render times and less reliance on computing power. Three cycles of creative practice were undertaken, resulting in three, 3D visualisations of nebula.
