I honestly had no idea Unreal was used in movie production. I thought it was only a game engine.

    It's worth noting that ILM dropped Unreal in favor of their own engine for the second season.

      do you have a source on that? Not questioning, but would like to know the details.

          Unreal Engine is still used with StageCraft 2.0 but not as the “final frame” renderer which is now ILM’s Helios renderer.

            According to the article Unreal is used as a DCC application alongside Houdini or Maya but the actual engine is now Helios.

              Yes, but if you know what these applications are used for and read between the lines Houdini is used for simulations, Maya is used for (by hand) animations and UE is used for scene composition.

  Also used in the UK to create virtual TV studios, notably for sports programmes where the pundits sit in a green-screen studio and impressive real-time backdrops are created around them. This allows a single physical studio to support multiple programmes using a range of different virtual assets. See [0] for a range of the different things Unreal is used for apart from games.
