維京人們有他們特有的力量和風格。他們的狂野，蠻力和固執(zhí)的忠誠神奇地交織在一起。對于電影的美術成員來說，將這種獨特的品格引入他們的項目中是很重要的。 角色設計師Nicolas Marlet創(chuàng)造出了一種造型語言，利用方形和矩形的堅實基礎來傳達一種身體力量感，并由此創(chuàng)造出了非常多樣化的外形組合。

人物角色的建模細節(jié)詳盡到即使光著也沒問題，甚至連每一根腳趾都不放過?！拔覀冞@么做是以防在故事中某些部分他們衣服或者什么飾品沒了的情況，而且這么做也能讓衣服與他們的接觸顯得更為真實?！蹦Ｐ涂偙O(jiān)Matt Paulson解釋說。說到衣服的方面，維京人的服裝由于其精致的毛皮和/或鏈條負載的特點，在綁定和動畫方面給綁定部門和動畫部門帶來了諸多挑戰(zhàn)。雖然制作部門不希望因為技術原因讓人物們穿不上衣服，但是“毛皮襯衫使用得很少，因為毛發(fā)的相互作用和毛絨的靴子還是個問題，因為在動畫制作中它們總是會穿過人物的腿。所以我們直接就認為，在這些東西上用的是更短的內墊的毛皮，從故事方面和實驗方面都有理由認為這樣合理?！币曈X特效總監(jiān)Craig Ring回憶說。在全部的衣服都和下面的皮膚綁定完成，可以一起運動之后，還有一小部分需要特別注意，才能真實表現(xiàn)出運動來。角色效果部門很快就解決了這個問題。

原文：

The Viking people possess their own energy and style, an intriguing mix of barbarianism, brute force and bullheaded loyalty to one another. It was important to the artistic crew of this film to channel that unique spirit into their cast. Character Designer Nicolas Marlet developed a shape language that conveyed a sense of physical strength using solid bases of squares and rectangles and then created a very diverse Iineup of characters from there.

Models for the human characters were built with great enough detail to appear naked, all the way down to each of their toes. "We do that just in case they end up losing their shirts or other accessories somewhere in the story, plus it helps make clothing contact more realistic," explains Modeling Supervisor Matt Paulson. Speaking of wardrobe issues, the Viking costumes present a number of rigging and animation challenges due to their richly furred and/or chain-laden features. While the production did not want to make the cast look underdressed to account for technical concerns, "fur vests were used sparingly due to hair interactions and fur-topped boots were a problem because they kept penetrating the characters' legs when animated. So we simply rationalized that shorter, matted fur made sense on these items for both story and practical reasons," recalls Visual Effects Supervisor Craig Ring. While all costumes were rigged to move with the skin underneath them, some required special attention in order to portray a realistic motion, and the character effects department was quick to smooth out such issues.
