About Plan B VFX

Plan B VFX is an independent visual effects and computer graphics studio established in 2016 in Shenzhen, China. Its work encompasses CG asset creation, digital environments and compositing for film, television and commercial productions, drawing on an international team of CG and compositing artists.

The studio’s capabilities cover multiple stages of visual effects production, from camera tracking and rotoscoping to modeling, texturing, animation and final compositing. It produces high-poly and low-poly assets, integrates digital matte paintings, creates environment extensions and delivers completed visual effects shots. Blackmagic Design Fusion Studio features prominently in its documented production workflow.

Documented television work

The studio received industry coverage in October 2018 through Blackmagic Design’s account of its contribution to the Chinese fantasy television series Legend of Fuyao. CG/VFX designer Alex Koryshev, working with Plan B VFX, handled 90 visual effects shots for the production.

A centerpiece of that contribution was a full-CG lake sequence combining animated water, matte-painted skies and thousands of floating lotus blossoms. The work brought together environment construction, procedural animation and compositing within Fusion Studio’s 3D environment. Network rendering supported delivery while allowing the artist to continue refining composites against television production deadlines.

Production techniques

For the documented lake sequence, Alex Koryshev displaced a 3D plane with dynamic FastNoise nodes and UV mapping to simulate ripples. SphereMap projection nodes supplied reflections from background matte paintings.

More than one thousand 3D lotus plant models, each comprising 5,000 polygons, were distributed using Fusion’s Duplicate3D node. Rendering across multiple machines allowed composite refinement and batch output delivery to proceed simultaneously.
