How Project Arena is Set to Transform Studios' Approach to Virtual Production

Chaos has announced Project Arena for virtual production. Offering studios a more efficient, less costly, and higher-quality workflow. By utilizing advanced ray tracing technology, this new approach aims to streamline the transition of 3D scenes onto LED screens.

Why it matters: With a lot of studios using V-Ray in production, it will be very appealing to be able to push their V-Ray scenes onto LED screen without the need for cumbersome conversion to other software. This also means scenes can be updated and tweaked directly in host programs such as 3ds Max live and on site.

Struggling with Authentic CGI Emotions? 

In this article, wearesomewhere.net explores how AI can be used to boost emotional authenticity in CGI, particularly for human figures. Traditional methods often miss the subtle cues of human emotion and cultural specifics, resulting in less engaging people. Utilizing AI for CGI brings nuanced details like age, mood, and cultural background to life, offering quick adaptability for diverse storytelling needs.

Why it matters: Humans have always been a challenge in CGI, they can kill an image rather than add life to it. This is a use case where AI is additive to our workflows and solves a problem rather than making us fear for our jobs.
