DescriptionCloning Clay, a space amoeba-like organic cloning matter in Pixar’s Elio (2025), required a suite of procedural FX techniques to land each story beat. In regular collaboration with several departments, this method delivered a range of effects, including dynamic hero clay FX, secondary rippling, and full-character transformations.
