RealTime Community
This exclusive RealTime Community Spotlight Event delves into how studios are not just adapting but proactively shaping their future in the face of technological evolution and external disruptions.
The VFX industry has long been under immense pressure to deliver more in less time and with increasingly limited budgets. The rapid evolution of technologies—such as real-time tools—has demanded significant adaptations from studios, and now AI is accelerating these changes at an unprecedented pace. Adding to this technological upheaval, external crises like COVID, the strikes of 2023, and the recent fires in Los Angeles have compounded the strain on an industry already pushed to its limits.
