Racquet Studios had the recent privilege of working with #Sony IMS to produce a fully immersive virtual performance on Fortnite with the awesome Myles Smith, which goes live today, Friday, October 25th 2024! It's been incredible to work with Sony Music Entertainment, RCA Records and Sony Immersive Studios on this project, which serves as a fine example of the transformative ways in which artists like Myles are connecting with their audiences, leveraging hugely popular platforms, such as #Roblox and Fortnite to create dynamic and immersive experiences. Through developing strategic partnerships with cutting-edge technologies including Move AI, Epic Games and Unreal Engine, with virtual studio partners such as Racquet Studios for capture and post-production processes, Sony Group is enabling artists to reach new audiences through innovative, immersive content. It's a fascinating time as we witness the ongoing and rapid evolution of gaming platforms and collaborations like these are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the music and entertainment industries overall. We've loved working with Move AI's markerless motion capture technology for this project and, as an official Studio Partner, we're looking forward to future challenges! For now, head to Fortnite and experience the playable concert, which includes 3 songs performed by Myles' uncanny avatar! #unrealengine #3Danimation #motioncapture #VirtualProduction #RacquetStudios #Createch #EpicGames #MylesSmith #RCA #SIMS #Fortnite #SonyImmersiveStudios #UnrealEngine
