In an industry where open worlds are becoming increasingly large, complex, and realistic, Studio Alice specializes in “World Capture.” Our team of experts at Studio Alice captures real-world elements to breathe more life into our games through casting, performance capture, photogrammetry, and audio, creating immersive, innovative, and unparalleled experiences.
Our motion capture studio is equipped with 100 Vicon cameras, some of the best cameras on the market. Thanks to them, we can capture the performance of actors and stunt persons with the utmost precision.
