Realtime Roads - Procedural, Real-Time Driving Environments for Virtual Production Shoots

My capstone MSc project, Realtime Roads explores the use of real-time game engines to improve vehicle process on a virtual production set. With custom C++ tooling in Unreal Engine, film makers have more agency when shooting in virtual production through flexible real-time tools than when using traditional 2D vehicle plates.

Severence Inspired Virtual Production Shoot

I acted as the on-set virtual production technical artist on another MSc project. This project utilised several various interesting techniques including frame remapping to improve post-production workflows.

Unreal Engine Helicopter VFX Sequence

By blending a mixture of traditional VFX methods and real-time game engines, I created a short VFX sequence with live action drone footage.

Pole Dancing Motion Capture and Virtual Production Shoot

I assisted on another MSc project that focussed on performance capture for a pole dancing choreography. The project involved Vicon motion capture of a performer as well as several days of virtual production shooting where I ran the volume as an on-set technical artist.

Motion Capture Projects

Throughout my time at Abertay I have carried out a number of motion capture shoots for my own projects as well as that of external university partners.

LED Wall Mesh Generator for Unreal nDisplay

A plugin for Unreal Engine to procedurally generate nDisplay projection meshes based LED panel specifications.

Using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to Classify Images Containing Spatial Aliasing Artefacts (Moiré)

Using PyTorch, I trained a CNN to binary classify 4k images containing spatial aliasing patterns.

Virtual Production Music Video

I directed and edited a music video that utilised Unreal Engine and an LED wall inspired by Saint Motel's, A Good Song Never Dies.
