What are you currently working on for Pyro? [Has Pyro made it to the VFX team yet?]

TL;DRSome Pyro work is done, including preparation for planetary effects, and more is scheduled, including lightning in gas clouds, but as a downstream support team VFX isn't as polished yet as other teams.

It's made it to me via Ian with lots of requests. "Hey, Mike, hey, Mike." We have actually done some work, or quite a lot of work, for Pyro. I've been in tons and tons of meetings where we've signed up to do more work. There's a lot that comes with Pyro. There's the actual gas clouds themselves. So, hey, guess what? Lightning is going to be needed in Pyro gas clouds, as we've already shown. But then it's just all the different locations that are in Pyro. There's all the planets. There's going to be different visual themes. We've done some preparation for the different planetary effects for the Pyro locations. Then there's the actual rest stops and locations and things like that. So some of the work's done, lots of it is ready to be done and part of the schedule, but because we are a support team, or downstream, we won't be as polished at the moment as some of the other teams are. I've seen lots of cool Pyro stuff.
