Star Wars 1313 engine turned into post-production movie technology
It looks as though the game wasn’t a total waste for LucasArts, though it’s reared its head in an unlikely place. A film set.
Last week at a BAFTA presentation, LucasArts, the film studio, not the defunct games studio, showed off some new technology they’ve been working on. The tech renders scenes in real time that would normally need to be created in post-production. For instance, actors dressed up in motion capture suits have their motions recreated within a virtual scene without any delay. You can see someone acting as C-3PO have their movement replicated in real-time. It’s phenomenal technology.
