Video: The real-time rendering of Rogue One

In this GDC 2017 talk, ILM’s John Knoll ILMxLab’s Roger Cordes and Naty Hoffman discuss the rendering technology inspired by video games that the team created for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

The trio provide details as to how the technology works, in addition to going over the challenges and lessons learned by creating a real time hero character for Rogue One.

It was an insightful talk that’s definitely still worth watching, so developers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to do so now that it’s freely available on the official GDC YouTube channel!
