Iloura on Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance

There’s lots of flaming skulls and chain whips in the new trailer to Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance courtesy of Melbourne VFX house, Iloura.

As the largest vendor on the film, Iloura won a hefty 460 shots. Caroline Pitcher, Director of Marketing and Business Development said “We won it on our pitch which was a new flaming skull. We took burning embers and used an oily smoke.”

The software used, said Pitcher was “3D Studio MAX, Maya, Nuke which were out of the box, but of course it takes creativity to make it truly work. We did a bit of R&D ourselves using Fume FX, a software for fire, smoke and explosion to really workshop and refine how the flames look.”
