Early sketches from Spielberg/Kubrick A.I. film

circa 2001
Some very early sketches of Rouge City and post-global warming new york. The large anthropomorphic buildings of Rouge City came from exploratory sketches that Kubrick had done with a UK comic artist. I refined and tried to give these large forms some sense of scale. This was one of my 1st big projects at ILM. I ended up designing much of Rouge City as well as creating some CG animated previz for some of the shots. It was also the project where i first pioneered the use of real time previzualization by hacking the UNREAL game engine. I convinced Denis Muren to let me try it because it was the best way to allow Spielberg to get a feel for the virtual environment even before we committed to alot of expensive build. I ended up creating a simplified but fully textured Rouge City in UNREAL with a realtime previz mod coded by another ILM colleague Peter Ward. We shipped the whole thing to Spielberg on a disc. Talking to the EPIC/UNREAL folks much later we think this was one of the 1st examples of MACHINIMA but instead of making movies inside a game engines, it was using a game engine to previsualize a big budget film.
