How Clear Angle is scanning the future of VFX

In this fxpodcast, we speak with Jamie Hearing, Digital Effects Supervisor at Clear Angle Studios, following a visit to the company’s Pinewood facility in the UK. The conversation looks at the broad range of capture work Clear Angle now undertakes, from full-body scanning and facial performance capture through to large-scale exterior LiDAR, drone and photogrammetry work.

The discussion quickly moves beyond traditional scan pipelines. Jamie explains how the same capture expertise is now being extended into radiance fields and Gaussian splatting. Rather than producing a cleaned-up mesh for a conventional CG workflow, these approaches use neural rendering to reproduce what the cameras actually saw. This can be especially powerful for complex visual features such as hair, reflections and transparency, which have historically been difficult to reconstruct convincingly.

Enjoy!
