KPop Demon Hunters changed the narrative and attitude toward the genre of music for many people, and Unreal Engine helped create this stunning experience with its tools, transforming previs, layout, and iteration.
In a new behind-the-scenes video, the artists working on the movie show how easily they could just draw crowds with a simple stroke and add VFX in the early stages of production already. The creators would change outfits and hairstyles to populate busy concert halls with ease.
“We just needed to create one body type and a bunch of hairstyles,” said Lillia Lai, Rigging Development Lead. “Then we could swap out the hairstyles and clothing in any combination we want, and pair that up with Unreal’s Foliage Mode to quickly populate a whole stadium crowd.”
