experimental cgi research at world class effects
WCE/Lab is the research division of World Class Effects, dedicated to computer generated imagery at the edge of what is possible. We prototype new tools, pipelines, and looks for the projects that need them.
Game-engine rendering for cinematic output. LED volumes, live compositing, and interactive environments.
Machine learning in production for asset generation, upscaling, and procedural variation with full artist control.
Fluid, cloth, and particle simulation. Procedural systems for generating environments, materials, and phenomena at scale.
Photogrammetry, 3D scanning, and volumetric capture for digitizing the real world at high fidelity.
