Kenia OS: Live Visuals from Tour to Palacio
A 3D world for every song of a pop superstar's show, from the tour to two sold-out nights at Palacio de los Deportes.
The challenge
Deliver live screen content for every song of the setlist, consistent across a whole tour and scaled up for the biggest shows of her career.
The idea
A dedicated 3D set per song in Unreal Engine, combining worldbuilding, character work, simulations and cinematic cameras.
The butterfly figure
A realtime VFX: a figure that builds itself out of butterflies and dissolves back into them.
My part
3D sets in Unreal Engine (worlds, assets, shaders, textures); realtime VFX, including the butterfly figure; character rigging and retargeting; compositing; cloth, hair and particle simulations; RBD breakage in some songs; modeled props; worldbuilding; cinematic camera animation; lighting in some songs; mocap cleanup.
Some pieces were subcontracted; I did not direct other artists.
