When it comes to the term reverse engineering, many people's minds seem to flash a scene in which the big industries such as cars, aerospace or natural gas use cutting-edge technology to measure old parts to get accurate results. But today, with the popularity of 3D printing and scanning technology, the concept is no longer so high, and many new industries are beginning to use this concept in their business, such as film production.
In the Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", the famous director JJ Abrams, although able to use the most advanced computer graphics effects technology, still hopes to use some technology to make the earliest "Star Wars" in the 1970s and 1980s. The trilogy and the current "Star Wars" film are connected to each other.
Because the film critic world generally believes that the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy filmed a few years ago, relying too much on computer technology or CGI, it lacks the reality of the physical effects created by puppets, makeup and stop motion animation. Sense of weight. Therefore, in order to make the visual effect of "A Force Awakens" look as original as possible, Abrams not only uses a lot of old people to participate in the performance, but also requires the use of props to be as consistent as possible.
In the field of physical effects, Phil Tippett is a legend. In fact, he also participated in the production of the earliest Star Wars trilogy. This experience has won countless honors and contracts for Tippett and his studio. Abrams especially liked a scene from the first part of Star Wars, when Chewbacca was playing a chess called Dejarik on the Millennium nickname - this is a holographic chess - this is Tippett and his colleagues. Implemented with stop motion animation and puppets.
As a matter of course, the props of "Awakening Principles" were also completed by Tippett's team. In order to find the movie props that were originally filmed, Tippett's studio contacted Lucasfilm. But unfortunately, although Lucas still has a lot of props when he first shot Star Wars' fourth A New Hope (1977), it is too long to be used today. So the production team thought of reverse engineering.
However, Tippett's team did not rely on expensive scanning equipment to get accurate results, because they are more interested in the shape of the props. In fact, a simple SLR camera and photogrammetry technology can create a usable digital model.
To that end, they found Moddler, a 3D printing services company based in San Francisco, which has extensive experience in creating visual effects for Hollywood. “In May 2014, Tippett Studio contacted us about two years before the official release of Force Awakening,†said Jared Murnan, Moddler’s Rapid Prototyping Manager. “At that time, they had decided to scan, 3D printing, molding and final casting to reproduce the holographic chess scene."
Although this reverse engineering only represents a small part of the production team's reproduction of a nostalgic scene in Star Wars 7 by stop motion animation, it is crucial for the rebasing requirements that director Abrams is eager to rebuild. .
"Because of the emergence of 3D printing technology , the prop industry is in an absolute state of change." Moddler's Jared Munan said: "Amateurs, fashion designers, visual effects companies and famous props masters are all going to 3D printing. Incorporating their work. It greatly speeds up the entire workflow, and the more people use it, the more convenient 3D printing technology is."
“Like our Polyjet technology used in Moddler, it is very suitable for making props. Because it can achieve seamless connection between parts, easy adhesion, and easy to draw patterns on it, the most important thing is that it is very fast. And the surface resolution is very high. Nowadays, for the prop manufacturer and product designer, the hardest part becomes the design CAD file. Once you finish the design, 90% of the remaining work is handed over to the 3D printer. To be done."
