The process of scanning real-world locations and objects for virtualization is revolutionizing how filmmakers and content creators approach previsualization, location scouting, and virtual production. Cutting-edge technologies like LiDAR, photogrammetry, and AI-driven scene reconstruction are closing the gap between the physical and digital worlds, unlocking unprecedented realism and creative freedom in world-building. In this session will explore the latest advancements in 3D scanning, real-time rendering, and digital asset creation for film, television, and immersive experiences.
Key Topics:
✅ SPLATTS & Real-Time Rendering: Discover how SPLATTS (Sparse Point-Light Attribute Textured Triangles) are transforming the efficiency of 3D data visualization and making photorealistic environments more accessible and scalable in real-time engines.
✅ LiDAR & Photogrammetry for Film & TV: Learn how high-fidelity 3D scans are reshaping production pipelines, from previs and VFX integration to entirely virtual environments.
✅ Digital Twins & Future-Proofing Assets: Explore how scanned environments and objects can be leveraged for on-set production, AI-driven scene generation, and long-term digital preservation.
✅ The Next Evolution of Virtual Production: How real-time world-building tools powered by AI, SPLATTS, and neural rendering are redefining the future of storytelling.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on how scanning and digital twins are reshaping the entertainment landscape—and why the future of world-building is happening now, in real time. 🚀
