When Floating Points brought his new album Cascade to London for three nights at HERE at Outernet, his electronic dance music was complemented by a world-first visual spectacle thanks to realtime services from Dimension Live.

Alongside the visuals from Hamill Industries and artist Akiko Nakayama, for the first time in a live show, we provided audiences with realtime virtual lighting and a set extension on the stage’s LED screen.

This performance is the first demonstration of a long-term partnership between Dimension Live and HERE at Outernet. We’ve created a virtual venue of the space to create incredibly immersive live experiences in the new Outernet district in London.

The Guardian gave the show a five-star review, calling it “an unclassifiable triumph” and described the performance as “a transcendent set that’s equal parts body-jacking rave and harp-laced, retina-melting art show”.

Introducing Evergreen — a Dimension motion capture demo driving live MetaHumans for in-camera VFX via an LED volume. Watch the behind the scenes below.

Set on a forested riverbed, the demo features two physical actors performing live against an LED volume. At the same time, directable mid-ground MetaHuman characters are puppeteered in realtime on a neighbouring performance capture stage.

The MetaHuman characters are driven by data generated from motion capture actors next door, captured using Vicon cameras. This realtime animation is played out on the LED volume for the physical actors to see and interact with.

The demo highlights a new way of using directable mid-ground MetaHuman characters. Because they're puppeteered in realtime, it allows for more dynamic and authentic interactions, such as characters helping each other traverse rocks.

See the in-camera edit below to watch the positive impact of the LED volume on the actors with realistic lighting and interaction with the MetaHuman characters.

Motion Capture Driving MetaHumans for ICVFX

Based on Richard McGuire’s graphic novel, Robert Zemeckis’ “Here” tells the story of a single location across time, from prehistoric landscapes to a modern living room — all captured from a single, fixed camera angle.

The film required close collaboration of DNEG for visual effects, Metaphysic for the de-aging of stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright, and Dimension and DNEG 360 for virtual production. 

The production used a 30-foot by 15-foot LED wall visible through the living room window, showcasing 85 different periods built by our team in Unreal Engine. 

Dimension and DNEG 360 created a significant library of assets, in particular vehicles, to add authenticity to the many periods. The team developed a realtime vehicle system in Unreal Engine, alongside trees, foliage, and seasonal weather systems.

Inspired by the Emmy Award-winning series, “Yo Gabba Gabba!” creators Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz have revived the family series featuring new host Kammy Kam on AppleTV+.

The team worked to build the fantastical world of Yo Gabba GabbaLand! to life in 3D, with Unreal content creation and on-set LED volume operation services.

 DNEG 360, a joint venture between Dimension and DNEG, is proud to have worked on bringing this fantastical world to life with content creation and virtual production.

Embark on a comedic, high-stakes journey through time and space with Time Bandits, an Apple TV+ adaptation of the 1981 cult classic film directed by Terry Gilliam.

The show’s premise, with bandits time-hopping through eras and locations as diverse as 1920s New York and Ice Age, was a perfect fit for virtual production.

Based in Wellington, New Zealand, Dimension and DNEG 360’s team was responsible for content creation (for previsualisation and in-camera VFX) and on-set operation of the LED volume.

Our content creation team used a combination of scanning and Unreal Engine to create stunning scenes such as the Ice Age, a Mayan village, and a recreation of Stonehenge.

Virtual production proved to be a creatively empowering tool for Waititi, Morris, and Clement, providing the flexibility and adaptability essential to the project’s evolving script and story. Time Bandits is available to watch on Apple TV+ now.

Those About to Die is a series packed with swords, sport, and entertainment for the masses. Starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, the project features extensive virtual production from Dimension and DNEG 360 which includes a realtime build of Ancient Rome.

Dimension and DNEG 360 showcase ‘The Evolution of Virtual Production,’ a documentary short made in association with Luno and Panalight.

This virtual production feature demonstrates the endless possibilities awaiting filmmakers, efficiently shooting various genres and eras across five days.

From a Revenant-style, post eco-disaster drama, to a gladiatorial battle to the death in the Colosseum and an intimate Edwardian period piece, we set out to show how virtual production is empowering filmmakers to craft brilliant cinematic stories.

With each day, we demonstrated new ways virtual production empowers filmmakers and enables creative control. From period drama and wide-lens, to improved raytracing and realtime caustics – watch and get in touch to learn more.
