Integrating Unreal Virtual Production Into the Highest-Quality Character Animation Pipeline

This session will explore how animation studio AMGI harnesses the power of real-time rendering to produce high-quality animation at a fraction of the traditional animation time. The presentation will dive into the latest tools and techniques AMGI uses for rapid prototyping of full-body and facial animation, showcasing a process of motion capture puppeteering mixed with key frame animation rendered at super-fast speeds.

Thank you for having us UE! It was an honor to share what our studio creates.

Foodfight, truly a masterpiece of cinema!

Now we can honestly say the Hardware has caught up to the software and concept needs, where a single animator or concept artist can render out their ideas within a days work with a decent $1500-$2000 system.

Would be interesting to see mocapped actors also have a VR headset so they can see themselves in the virtual world. Then you have the virtual cinematic camera that the directors are controlling etc. Most gamers are not new to this since we have our VRChat as a number of VRChat users use some form of full-body tracking. But stuff like this gets you thinking about what cool things that can be done in an animated production. This is cool and awesome stuff and can't wait to see where this will go.

Pre-rendering bad, real-time rendering good.
