Autodesk Vision Series | Animating a Multiverse of Horror for Marvel Zombies
DescriptionInside the making of Marvel Zombies, Stellar Creative Lab reveals the animation pipeline behind Marvel’s darkest animated universe yet. From eerie environments to stylized characters, discover the end-to-end production pipeline behind the #1 Disney+ series – spanning asset creation, layout, animation, lighting, lookdev, and final rendering for a fast-paced episodic workflow.

Learn how the team used Maya for layout and animated performances, Arnold to achieve the show’s stylized horror look through toon shading, and Flow Production Tracking (formerly ShotGrid) to connect artists, assets, and production data across the studio. And discover how OpenUSD helped unify the pipeline, streamline collaboration, and support scalable production across the studio.

Alongside exclusive production insights from Marvel Zombies, the team will discuss how Autodesk’s connected creative ecosystem enabled an artist-friendly workflow built for modern animated storytelling — and how emerging AI-powered workflows may help shape the future of animation production.
