Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 2
Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning
$75,000.00
Virtual Production: Real-time Network Rendering and Compositing
FY 2020-21
Summary
Sheridan College's Screen Industries Research and Training Centre (SIRT) will work with Toronto-based
partner company Dark Slope to prototype virtual production workflows with a focus on the adoption of
real-time technology to overcome technical challenges relating to Unreal Engine's nDisplay and Composure
plugins. Real-time rendering technologies can offer significant reductions in post-production costs and can
optimize production efficiencies in a studio environment. SIRT's approach to the adoption of real-time tools
will be to evaluate existing features and develop software solutions for integration into Dark Slope's animation
and virtual production pipelines.
