"Unpacking the Multidimensional World of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse"

Sony Pictures Imageworks created innovative tools for translating more elaborate 2D stylization into 3D with new systems for using pencil, pen and ink, markers, and paintbrushes in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse." The film introduces several new dimensions and characters inspired by a multitude of trippy-looking Marvel comic book designs, including Earth-65, Earth-50101, Earth-928, Earth-42, and Earth 138B’s New London. The VFX team used new tools for simulation, linework, and non-photorealistic compositing to pull off the distinctive styles of each world.
