March 12: Modern Automation: How Movies are Adopting High-end Gaming & Machine Learning to Build Digital Worlds
Join us for a live demonstration of how the movie industry is adopting high-end gaming and machine learning (ML) tech to build digital worlds faster than ever before.
Modern filmmaking uses "smart" digital assembly lines to bridge the gap between imagination and the screen. By automating repetitive tasks, creators spend less time on technical troubleshooting, and more time on the creative process. These new systems allow different software platforms to work together seamlessly, incorporating AI/ML to handle complex jobs like Physically Based Materials (PBR) in Unreal Engine for generation or asset optimization.
The demo will include Mod Tech Labs new MOD platform, and it's Unreal Engine plugin.
