How Pixar Makes Animated Clothes Look Real | Movies Insider

In Pixar’s “Onward,” two elf brothers turn their late father into a pair of pants. Their dad had the most technically complex costume Pixar’s ever done (per their production notes). The challenge for the costume animation team was to make something that was appealing, funny, physically plausible, & look like a person at first glance — but ultimately behave like an actual lump of cloth. We focus on Dad’s costume, since he’s at the center of the story & his clothing posed a particular challenge to Pixar’s character tailoring artists. It will be interesting to show how much animation/simulation work & creativity goes into a single outfit for a Pixar character.

When you realize Pixar’s short films are basically a playing ground for testing out new forms of animation and simulations

The first "The Incredibles" justifying no capes with occupational hazards is brilliant, but really it's just hard to animate cloth back then.

Title: "How pixar made animated clothes so real"

*Proceeds to spoil every part of Onward*

[vsnrm]

Honestly, the clothes are so underrated in animation? I've always thought that it was impressive when they got hair and fur to look good, but that almost seems easy compared to the tech that goes into making clothes. And it feels so natural that you almost don't realize how impressive it is.

I wish they make a Sid Toy Story movie.
