What do you get when you cross the flight and firepower of Marvel’s Iron Man suit with the sci-fi shooting splendor of BioWare’s Destiny? The answer is Anthem, the highly anticipated premiere of a brand-new franchise from BioWare and EA. The first thing you notice about Anthem is how gorgeous everything and everyone is. From the jungles and deep waterfalls, which are jaw-dropping, to the alien landscapes full of fantastic vistas and wondrous ruins, Anthem is visually stunning.
How did the team behind Anthem create this beautiful world? Join us as Chris Van Dyke, Fenner Rockliffe & Kenson Wang teach us the art of ‘selective stylization’ in cut scenes, including how to leverage Frostbite™ game engine renders and deep compositing and particles in Nuke®, to tell a story in every frame.For more info about ANTHEM, visit the game’s official web page:
