ABSTRACT
Our characters have a lot of moving parts. This complexity makes achieving and maintaining real-time performance a challenge. Our journey of bringing our rigs to 24 fps consisted of many different milestones. We aggressively adopted cutting edge technology during active production and developed a system to continuously monitor asset "health" performance metrics. New applications were created for production to monitor asset health using Blue Sky's next generation pipeline, Conduit.
