Redefining virtual production workflows.

Pushing the boundaries of virtual production.

For the past year, the Chaos Innovation Lab team has delved into the potential applications of our real-time path-tracing technology for in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) on virtual production stages. The culmination of this research is Project Arena, a solution that seamlessly integrates virtual shoots into the overall production pipeline.  Enabling direct utilization of film production assets without any preprocessing, Project Arena will eliminate the need for scene stripping, asset conversion, or baking. Our goal is to help maximize efficiency, reduce production costs, and make virtual production more accessible. 

We aim to create a solution that: 

• Uses the same V-Ray assets across all production stages and thus ensures work continuity and simplifies the pipeline.
• Handles scenes of immense complexity & can scale.
• Delivers highly realistic results while providing the flexibility for on-set adjustments in real-time.
