The tech powering modern blockbusters

What this episode covers

Modern blockbusters are increasingly powered by a fusion of real-time rendering, artificial intelligence, and advanced physical scanning. These technologies allow major studios to blend physical and digital environments with unprecedented speed and realism.Virtual Production & Real-Time Rendering: Replacing traditional green screens, large LED volumes (like those used in The Mandalorian) use game engines—primarily Unreal Engine—to render photo-real backgrounds that react to camera movement in real-time.Digital Doubles & Environment Scanning: Companies like Clear Angle Studios use massive camera rigs (often with 200+ cameras) to create precise 3D scans of actors' faces and bodies in seconds, as well as entire landscapes and buildings to create digital doubles for complex stunts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-explained--6659607/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates with fresh news everyday.
