Amazon Hyena | The Mill

Meet Hattie the Hyena, featured in a recent holiday advert created by The Mill for Amazon.com. 

In this Houdini Connect feature, The Mill's Tony Atherton (FX Supervisor) and Adam Droy (VFX Supervisor) talk about how they brought to life a photoreal hyena using Houdini to groom the character, create muscles and skin, simulate fur using vellum, shot assembly, and lighting tools.
