The robot flies through the aisle


The robot hits the workers.



Proceed further along the aisle ......


Arrive in future living room


Characterized by soft lighting that seems to be a living room by striking a passage



Then move to a room where things like a power furnace are placed


Focus on the robot and blur the background realistically



I also came to the area where the robot and the monitor were located



It feels as if the blur is quite exciting and actually is getting into the movie



You can see which cinematic image effects are used in which scene of the demonstration movie "The Labs" by watching the following movie. The tool can use effects such as screen space ray tracing reflection, tone mapping, color grading, antialiasing (SMAA), depth of field and so on.

On the left of the screen is a demo movie "The Labs" created with Unity 5.0, the one on the right was made with Unity 5.4. As for Unity 5.0, the color tone is palest overall, but it is clearly understood that Unity 5.4 expresses the heavy feeling of metal and the degree of reflection of light in realism.





In addition, the following movies were created using Unity 5.4 beta version and cinematic image effect. The movie "Adam" is a short film, produced by Unity's demonstration team, said that it is implementing light in real time.

Two shadows in the distance


Robot is projected ......


I will wake up


For some reason the robot has been hooked up to the whole body with its cord ......


Move your body ... ....


Somehow escape


As well as sophistication of the model, it seems to be realistically reproducing the air feeling of the place with realistic light effect that I think that real light is pointing.



Looking at your own hands, I realized something strange ......



Peel off the shiny cloth wrapped around your arms.


It seems that the body does not move properly and is crawling on the ground ...


I noticed that my face is like a robot ......



I will hit my face on the ground



The crimped face is a robot itself, but also a human being is a very eerie atmosphere


The door opens ......


Robot walking in the aisle as it is



And out


A lot of robots of similar appearance are overflowing outside, and everything remains a mystery and the movie ends. The full version of the short film "Adam" produced by Unity will be released on March 31, 2016 in Amsterdam, The NetherlandsUnite Europe 2016It is scheduled to be released at.
