Mundos Digitales is a premier international summit dedicated to the convergence of Animation, Visual Effects (VFX), and New Media. Since its inception in 2002 in A Coruña, Spain, it has grown into the Spanish-speaking world’s most significant industry event, serving as a high-tech crossroads where global talent, cutting-edge studios, and tech innovators gather to redefine the boundaries of digital storytelling.
Superman: 4DGS Holograms
Superman utilizes the latest advancements in radiance field technologies to create Holographic visual effects by capturing volumetric data of actor performances. The innovative technique was used for the first time ever in a feature film to create an unstable, holographic message from Superman's Kryptonian parents; a core story point that required significant emotional impact.
Gaussian Splatting is an explicit, point-based radiance field that utilizes millions of tiny, anisotropic shapes to model light and volume. The addition of Actors requires 4D Gaussian Splats to train 11.000 images per second to form a unique cloud of points into photorealistic performances.
Presented by the Computer Graphic Supervisor from Framestore, Kevin Sears will explore the goals and approach to this implementation in the film. A full timeline, from concept to final film will show the close collaboration with Infinite Realities and Framestore studios in creating this unique process to capture and visualize this pioneering effect!
