This stuff is the best. Especially for the performers. Being able to see the world in realtime vs a green/blue screen really helps them get into and interact as if they are in the environment. The performance level just goes up for them. And for the directors they get to see their vision in real time instead of just post. Post is now pre. Love it.

It's a step forward but unless you already have all the 3D assets pre made and ready for the pre production you are still going to be suffering that technical debt to make those assets. At least with Quixel Megascans and Metahuman they will be able to use stand in assets for the preview stage and get the kinks out before they start hairing away at asset production.

There’s a lot of Volume used scenes that feel like the characters are in a diorama or a stage rather than a lived in environment. Maybe they just haven’t utilized it in the most beneficial way. Still a really awesome advancement regardless though.

Almost all of The Mandalorian was filmed this way. Jon Favreau was one of the first directors to go all in on this type of filming. What they did on set was have almost a 360 screen of this tech-then they filled the floor with real props. It looked so real that actors would walk into the screen sometimes haha.
