VFX artist Boris Schmidt explains how his team brought the surreal VR landscapes of the Netflix series—as well as that chilling Panama Canal scene—to life.
Netflix ’s 3 Body Problem won over audiences with its sci-fi mysteries, complex characters, and startling visuals.

FX provided additional aeration simulations and air bubbles that were emitted from the character. Like always, the final look was dialed by adding compositing love.
