In this episode, Kofi chats to Filipe Magalhães, Realtime supervisor at NVIZ about Unreal engine and all things realtime.
We do a deep dive into Unreal engine in the use for previs, VFX, and Virtual production, compare it to Unity, and retrace Filipe's journey into the industry.
Following up on that, we discus the education, diversity and representation in the VFX industry, neurodiversity and more.
A very well packed episode, not to be missed!
