The Realtime Rascals

The real-time revolution has arrived in previs, CG animation, VFX and more, empowering directors and artists to produce storytelling projects that are closer to their creative visions. But achieving best results in real-time creation requires an in-depth understanding of the rapidly evolving technologies that power it. 

This series of live sessions in Unity takes a deep dive into every part of the animated storytelling process, from previs to final pixels. The sessions then explore how to take your stories into new media such as XR.

Whether you’re a student who wants to be at the forefront of the fast-changing entertainment industry or a professional looking to upskill, these sessions will help you to deepen your knowledge and skillset throughout the entire real-time animation workflow.

This session explores different types of light and their specific use cases. You will learn about color temperature, intensity and exposure, then dive into the relationship between light and shadow and how these direct the viewer’s eye by breaking up the light source using light cookies. Finally, you’ll see how you can use volumetric light to add polish by creating “god rays,” and how to output final shots via the recorder.
