we might be changing those jets to a tomcat or a su 57, which is the enemyjet,| or dark star, which is- the hypersonic prototype aircraft at the beginning - of the film, even though those jets would ultimately be| what the audiences saw, i still wanted the team to be able to start with something j that was real. worked really closely - with our advisers in the navy to figure out, you know, how to sort of take - what was on the script - to the screen, in the sense of what specific manoeuvres pilots, real pilots, would be doing in those combat situations. - for us to kind of look at just the glancing angle of the edge of an aircraft and understand, how does the light actually interact and bounce and wrap around it? it s aspects of cg that are often considered very basic because it goes to very early rendering techniques, but dialling and actually getting the precise nature of those shaders to accurately create what the surfaces of these jets look like is something that is very, very un
