During his talk at The Art Department Matt Radford, VFX Supervisor on AZUL, will walk through the film’s process using Unreal Engine 5 to deliver sequences and visual effects shots with real-time rendering. He’ll break down their methodology on set involving DMX lighting, render passes, and Nuke integration, all using real-time rendering.
