Abstract

Currently, Virtual Reality video content is rapidly increasing in number of users due to the rapid growth of related hardware and software. Accordingly, Virtual Reality animation is also being produced in a new form by rapidly integrating with Virtual Reality technology among video contents. Currently, research on Virtual Reality animation has focused on how films are produced and how they are directed, and no research has been done to organize the pipeline for efficient VR animation production. Therefore, this study drew the characteristics of the pre-render VR animation pipeline by comparing it with the production pipeline of the existing 3D animation to produce the VR animation efficiently. Through this, we presented organic integration of production and post production processes suitable for the production of VR animations and reduced rendering time using Render Pass for efficient production.

현재 가상현실 영상콘텐츠는 관련 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 빠른 성장으로 사용자 수가 빠르게 늘고 있다. 이에 가상현실 애니메이션 또한 영상콘텐츠 분야 중 빠르게 가상현실 기술과 융합하여 새로운 형태로 제작되고 있다. 현재 가상현실 애니메이션 관련 연구는 영화의 기술적인 제작 방법과 연출법 등에 집중되어 왔으며 효율적인 VR 애니메이션 제작을 위한 파이프라인을 정리한 연구는 아직 없었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가상현실 애니메이션 중에서도 프리렌더 방식의 VR 애니메이션의 효율적인 제작을 위하여 기존 3D 애니메이션의 제작 파이프라인과의 비교를 통하여 프리렌더 VR 애니메이션 파이프라인의 특성을 도출하였다. 이를 통하여 효율적인 프리렌더 VR 애니메이션의 제작을 위해서 VR 애니메이션의 제작 과정에 적합한 프로덕션과 포스트 프로덕션 과정의 유기적인 통합과 Render Pass를 활용한 렌더링 시간의 단축을 제시하여 효과적인 Pipeline을 제시하였다.
