In this session recorded at Unreal Fest Orlando 2025, Universal Creative reveal how they generated feature-film-quality animation running in real time on the attraction 'Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast', an interactive blaster game for all ages.
Explore the journey and challenges of converting film-quality characters to game-ready assets with zero quality loss, see the comparison of concept image and final rendered 3D scene, and enjoy a showcase of advanced environment lighting in Unreal Engine.
The team also outlines the successes and learnings of creating a real-time attraction on a moving walkway with up to 16 people in a room, the design of boss fights (including fighting engaging bosses in an infinite loop), and the graphics hardware used to achieve the amazing visuals using Unreal Engine on the attraction.
