Virtual production involves the use of huge LED walls to project scenes around actors, and was pioneered in the 2019 Disney TV series "Star Wars: The Mandalorian". Since then, the global market for virtual production has grown to $1.82bn in 2022, and is projected to double by 2027\.This project tackles one of the greatest inefficiencies in virtual production today: creating photorealistic 3D scenes.Currently, creating a 3D scene requires painstaking manual effort to construct detailed 3D models and apply realistic colours, textures and lighting. It can take a professional 3D artist many weeks to produce a single object, let alone an entire scene.This £50k project will demonstrate a method to automatically turn a set of 100 digital photos into a full 3D scene, ready for use in virtual production, at the touch of a button. Access to low-cost, high quality 3D scenes will enable filmmakers to cut down on expensive international travel and shoot more scenes in the studio, on virtual production stages.Widely adopted, this technology has the potential to produce film scenes at a fraction of the current cost and time, putting the UK at the forefront of the $220bn global TV and film production industry.

虚拟制作涉及使用巨大的 LED 墙来投影演员周围的场景，并在 2019 年迪士尼电视剧《星球大战：曼达洛人》中首创，此后，全球虚拟制作市场已在 2022 年增长至 18.2 亿美元。预计到 2027 年将翻一番\。该项目解决了当今虚拟制作中效率最低的问题之一：创建逼真的 3D 场景。目前，创建 3D 场景需要专业的 3D 艺术家需要花费数周的时间来构建详细的 3D 模型并应用逼真的颜色、纹理和灯光，更不用说整个场景了。这个耗资 5 万英镑的项目将演示一种自动转动布景的方法。只需按一下按钮，即可将 100 张数码照片转换为完整的 3D 场景，可供虚拟制作使用。 访问低成本、高质量的 3D 场景将使电影制作者能够减少昂贵的国际旅行并在国内拍摄更多场景。这项技术被广泛采用，有潜力以当前成本和时间的一小部分制作电影场景，使英国在价值 2200 亿美元的全球电视和电影制作行业中处于领先地位。
