On this presentation, two members of the Urbansimulations team will show these advanced techniques implemented in the creation of the last Foster+Partners resort, with video texturing and character techniques.

Using HD video to texture panoramic backgrounds allows our artists to move cameras beyond the constraints of a recorded camera movement.

If you add almost 400 high resolution people moving around and the global illumination rendering method you are really close to having a lot of problems together to solve. Furthermore be prepared to switch between 8 lighting setups in the same scene to switch with just a couple of clicks and without additional boring rendering setups.
