Modern tech is so advanced that you don’t need expensive stuff to set up AAA-looking animation.
Hey guys, it’s been a while. I have been working on our upcoming animated short film called ‘Windup’. And this is a test scene from it!
This short film will be the proof point to show that we can achieve animated feature quality and rendered real-time in Unity engine.
Rather than using methods seen in VFX, we take techniques from the AAA game production that push the visual bar while being real-time.
The test scene is a collaboration of Laurent Harduin, Jacob Norris, Colin Thomas and me.
Special thanks to Melissa Chou, Sebastien Lagarde, John Parsaie, John Sweeney and Chris Kang who helped us to finish it.
