Dexter Studio USD Platform and Plugin Development

Korean Film Council Selects Advanced Video Virtual Video System Specialized Support Project Operators

Dexter Studio announced on the 28th that it has been selected as a specialized support business for advanced virtual video characteristics by the Korean Film Council. It will participate in the development of an advanced CG production asset (reusable digital asset) library service and showcase a platform and plugin utilizing USD.

USD refers to an open-source framework and file format related to scene description technology. It allows multiple workers to collaborate in a layered manner, improving the efficiency of CG production involving large amounts of data. A representative explained, "It was developed by the American Pixar Animation Studios," adding, "Hollywood VFX studios have been changing their workflows for the past 2-3 years, but it is still hardly used domestically." They stated, "Through this project, we aim to establish industry standards and enhance international competitiveness."

Dexter Studio will open-source the related pipeline and distribute it to domestic CG companies and specialized schools. Open-sourcing means releasing the software design source code so that anyone can improve and redistribute it. This allows for more detailed and advanced customization. The representative said, "As virtual studio filming is on the rise, its utilization will increase," and added, "We are also building a virtual production studio (an immersive content production system) in Paju, Gyeonggi-do."
