Why Animators are Ditching DCCs for Game Engines

Description:

The animation industry is undergoing a massive paradigm shift thanks to real time technology. Artists today are using game engines and mobile apps to experiment with high quality facial and motion capture straight from their phones – sometimes in the studio, sometimes in the garage – creating content live. Rather than spending hours waiting for files to render using traditional methods, today’s animation and production pioneers are improvising a new process that is inherently collaborative, interactive, and performance-based. Hear first hand from artists who are upending the traditional animation pipeline about how tools originally built for game developers are letting them rethink their craft, with unexpected and exciting implications for storytelling.
