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墙来投射演员周围的场景，并在2019年迪士尼电视剧《星星战争：曼达洛人》中开创。从那时起，全球虚拟制作市场已增长到2022年的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最大的效率低下之一：创建照片级逼真的3D场景。目前，创建3D场景需要艰苦的手动工作来构建详细的3D模型，并应用逼真的颜色，纹理和照明。专业的3D艺术家可能需要数周时间才能制作出一个物体，更不用说整个场景了。这个价值5万英镑的项目将演示一种方法，只需按一下按钮，即可将一组100张数码照片自动转换为完整的3D场景，供虚拟制作使用。获得低成本、高质量的3D场景将使电影制作人能够减少昂贵的国际旅行，并在演播室、虚拟制作舞台上拍摄更多场景。这项技术得到广泛采用，有可能以目前成本和时间的一小部分制作电影场景，使英国在2200亿美元的全球电视和电影制作行业中处于领先地位。
