Here’s an update on the new force ghost effects for Leia!
In my original scene (https://vimeo.com/524015706), I tried to get Leia’s force ghost to resemble Obi-Wan in Return of the Jedi.
But this makes Leia feel disconnected from her location and distracts from the actual scene happening.
Instead I changed the effect to resemble Yoda in TLJ. This helps her to blend into the scene better because the lighting matches the environment. This is also better for continuity because we see Yoda as a Force Ghost in the scene immediately following this one.
I also added a dynamic shimmer effect to give some life to her glow. Today I’m working on rendering some of these shots, so I’ll have a preliminary clip up within the next few weeks.
For reference here are the different types of force ghosts:
