In the lead up to the release of the fourth entry in the Matrix franchise, The Matrix Resurrections, a new demo of Unreal Engine’s impressive capabilities has been released called The Matrix Awakens, which simulates photo-realistic environments and replacement digital avatars for the actors playing iconic characters. Steve and Ben discuss the amazing achievements of the Unreal Engine in creating characters and environments that are indistinguishable from reality. Steve and Ben also discuss the M1 MacBook Pro’s place in Apple’s line up, testing Filmic Pro and LumaFusion workflows on the iPhone, and how NFTs are ingeniously being put to use to allow for virtual reality horse racing that is indistinguishable from the real thing.
