VFX Futures Podcast: Facial capture, CG and cut scenes on Codemasters’ ‘F1 2021’

How do cut scenes in games get made? For the story mode ‘Braking Point’ cinematics in Codemasters’ F1 2021, our team took motion captured performances and delivered final shots with Unreal Engine, the first time we’d employed the game engine like this. It was also the first time we used DI4D’s new digital double animation pipeline, PURE4D, for facial capture.

To get a handle on how this worked for the cut scenes,  befores & afters’ Ian Failes chatted with our CG director Ian Jones and DI4D co-founder Dug Green in his latest VFX Futures podcast.

Subnautica: Below Zero Trailer lands Special Merit at the AEAF Awards

Our work on the Subnautica: Below Zero launch trailer has been awarded Special Merit at the Australian Effects and Animation Awards (AEAF). The trailer also recently picked up Best Effects / Animation at the Vega Digital Awards.

It’s the third cinematic trailer created for the much loved open world survival action-adventure game. Set two years after the original game, and in the arctic region of Planet 4546B, the game marks a new chapter in the Subnautica Universe – a story that the REALTIME team was delighted to help bring to the screen.

Many congratulations to our team, the AEAF jury and everyone at Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
