Virtual Production for Architecture and Design using Unreal Engine
Virtual Production using Unreal Engine has become all the rage over the past few years as more and more high-profile productions use it in their workflow, and there are tons of tutorials online about how individuals or smaller studios can utilise these tools for their own purposes — but most of these are specifically film related.

However, in a project I was a part of about a year ago, I had the opportunity to use Virtual Production tools to present an architectural and interior design to a client in a sort of AR Walkthrough of a potential workspace, which I thought was quite unique and worth sharing.
Essentially, we set up a Virtual Camera and connected an iPad to the Unreal Engine Editor through the Unreal VCam app, and then the client could walk through the office as though it had already been completed, which they found extremely exciting and novel. Sometimes it’s the simple things that can be the most impactful, and hopefully this gave you a new idea to incorporate into your own presentations to clients.
If you feel inclined to share, I would love to hear back from you if you’ve found this useful and have found a place for it in something you’ve created. You can find me at True Outlaw.
