Experimenting with UNREAL to explore its potential for automating previs in VFX.
The tools I’ve used include Cesium to integrate the "Google Earth" map into UNREAL - Hunyan 3D 2.5 to create "Talos" - and Wan2.2 for restyling and image-to-video creation.
Talos was the first "AI agent" imagined by humankind over 2,000 years ago. His role was to destroy any ship that approached the shores of Crete. He did so flawlessly - but without judgment or human oversight. That’s why he was so terrifying, and ultimately, he had to be destroyed.
Inspiration: Willis O’Brien - King Kong (1933) and Ray Harryhausen - Jason and the Argonauts (1963).
