Real-Time In-Camera VFX for Next-Gen Filmmaking | Project Spotlight | Unreal Engine
Real-time technology is transforming the art of filmmaking, with next-generation virtual production tools coming to Unreal Engine. At SIGGRAPH, Epic Games partnered with Lux Machina, Magnopus, Profile Studios, Quixel, ARRI, and DP Matt Workman to demonstrate how LED walls can provide not only virtual environments but also lighting for real-world elements, so the entire scene can be captured in camera in a single pass.

If you’re gonna do a shot in a studio, this is how to do it believably. It feels like a step in a good direction for film-making. Get as much as possible in camera. That’s where the fun of film making comes in for everyone.
Remember that at some point these backgrounds were done by literally painting a background on a wall. This is THE next step
First Blender 2.8 and now this. What a time to be alive

@@AmantePatata Yes, But it is way easier and quicker to change stuff. You double click the model in unity, it opens up the blend file, you change what you want and save, boom instant feedback in the scene! no need to find the blend change it and then export again as FBX manually. The trick in Unity is just doing EVERYTHING in blender(parenting material naming mesh renaming etc...)

...if you're a cyclop. These things can only display one perspective at a time, like a normal TV screen (but much larger) - it's basically the "display follows perspective of camera trick" that started to be popular with makers back when hacking wiimotes to do the tracking-part was "a thing" - except with an insane crazy high budget for the actual TV display. It looks very cool on camera, but completely breaks apart in person: we human happen to have two eyes, and only one of the two can be easily receiving the correct perspective. And that's only for one viewer. As soon as there are two people in such a 'holodeck' you'd need four different perspectives to be displayed. The only way to achieve that is by using shutter glasses (you can't use polarized glasses easily from weird angles, must be constantly facing the screen)

After watching the Mandalorian I finally understand how awesome this tech is. Having a virtual set being rendered in real time in the background and also cast actual lighting for the scene makes such a huge difference compared to how cgi has been incorporated into films in the past. Everything feels so much more believable when the lighting, cast reflections and shadows blend in with the scenery.
I can't wait for the Mandalorian behind the scenes so we can see how they used this in practice on a real film set

Antman 3 will use this technology
Its all fun and games until Tom cruise runs a motorcycle into an led wall when he is in full character.
I was thinking about how amazing this technology was today while driving - then I come home to see this in the top of my feed.
its the little things that sell an effect, like the lighting and reflections on the bike in the close up, everything matches in terms of colours, reflections, depth of field. it will also cut down on production effect turnaround for a number of scenes that ordinarily might takes weeks to produce to this standard of reality. look at Oblivion and first man for excellent examples of LED or projection backgrounds being used, this is even more sophisticated, so i cant wait to see it used practically in a movie/s.
I think this is the way how the genius and great Stanley Kubrick would film today! You guys revived the art of making touchabel films and also fuzed it with new digital and for human helpfully achievments! Thank you!
This is soooo coooooll.

ThE FACT that The Mandalorian uses this is awesome. Hope more films in the future utilize this method.
This is so beyond exciting. What a time to be alive.
Beginning of a game engine to be used in movies. A great success.
This is so impressive! Awesome creative minds at work here!
That's just unreal! Literally in more ways than one. ;D
The sheer amount of content the future will bring, it's amazing.
Now that is impressive. Also makes you wonder where technology will advance over the next few decades.

Justin Crediblename I would say it’s more than reasonable. But skip the contribution part. In my own opinion it’s about following the market. UE costed shitloads for ages. When Unity suddenly started to get market shares, introduced and asset store and the modern “big” indie market appeared then Unreal followed and a lower and lower price race with Unity begun. I think it’s great that there is many production proven engines out to be used almost free (or in “trial”) and then for a reasonable profit share. But make no mistake base core is financially and profit driven.

Unreal engine cada ves más poderoso, m costó aprender su ideología de uso, valió la pena. Saludos desde Colombia Barranquilla
Hello guys from Epic, I would like to give an implementation tip to make Project Spotlight more realistic. I believe that a system of layers in real time to simulate the reaction of the ambient light in the actor would be ideal. For example: there are 3 layers, the first 1 is where there is the 3d scene with its own lighting as you already do; the second 2 would be the actor or objects on the scene; and the third 3 would be the lens effect of the camera when it captures an object in front of a point of light, or when moving. If you had this automatically to calculate around real objects it would be fantastic.
THis is nuts!
We are enjoying the best of the best.
LOVE IT!
Very interesting. I like it!

Really unreachable! The industry is not fair enough for certain strata of society, the poorest people often want to emerge in this world of games and entertainment, and are barred by high prices, language inaccessibility and lack of resources! I am sad that I can not continue because of lack of human resources and help from those who have. But thank you for this industry exist! Hugs!
Wow this is *Unreal*
This is the way!
I GAVE UP ON UNITY ! So glad I got on Unreal ...its is night and day difference. Way more interactive way of creating content.
This is truly amazing software. The artificial world as opposed to the real world.
Corridor crew gave me a hint for this video vfx with less time, less use of trackers and green screen, this is amazing for the places which exist on earth and can be captured 360 to create the environment buy it would be hard to create a complete cg environment for those screens. Like for the movies wiz. Avatar... But still a good idea and time savior for post pro. Team thanx
It's not so new concept. but a great technical realisation.
now i know what i want for christmas

Anybody know if the displays were projector based or panels and who makes them, id love to know
This kind of method was used on the latest avatar series, Avatar : the last Airbender 2024, great job!
