Episode notes
Successful Test Walk-Through With Switch Light
- Sam showed a test of walking through a scanned environment using Switch Light and was impressed by high-fidelity normal maps and integration.
- The Roto/segmentation needed cleanup, but overall the shot felt more integrated than previous seasons.
Batch Track With Glow Map Then Import To Unreal
- Use Glow Map to batch process camera tracks and generate point clouds, then import into Unreal for accurate scene placement.
- Combine Glow Map with Datasmith/Cinema4D to reorient and align tracks quickly for virtual production.
Corridor's 3D Print Farm Experience
- Corridor Crew built a 3D-printing 'farm' with multiple printers and are iterating on automation like robot arms to remove trays.
- They found running many printers scales output but introduces needs for post-print automation.
