Imagine being able to visualize before you build, predict failures before they happen, and optimize operations in real time—all before making costly decisions. Digital Twins are revolutionizing industries beyond entertainment and gaming, making them an essential skill for CG artists and professionals looking to expand into cutting-edge fields like simulation, automotive, and enterprise visualization. Thanks to advances in game engines, AI, and real-time technology, Digital Twins are rapidly transforming how businesses simulate and interact with the physical world. From city planning and industrial automation to virtual production and beyond, their impact is growing across nearly every industry. Join GIS Architect/Engineer/CG Supervisor and CG Pro co-founder Edward Dawson-Taylor for an exclusive free webinar next Wednesday, where he’ll break down Digital Twins, Unreal Engine, and Cesium, and show you how these tools are shaping the future. Don’t miss out—reserve your spot today!

Why do the hard stuff? If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. We set out on an expedition to #Europa in 2023. We arrived there in 2024. It's 2025, and we now have a story to share. The film will soon hit festivals, and an audience will witness the magic produced by the efforts of a team that grew in size and reached numbers beyond "300." Though we didn't battle like the Spartans, we had our fair share of battlegrounds to defend and territories to gain control over. The battle report is out for our colleagues to use, allowing them to take from it the hard-earned knowledge and know-how made possible by the support of numerous partners, volunteers, industry mentors, and artists. There isn't a better war reporter at the frontlines of technological innovation in media and entertainment than Noah Kadner. We were fortunate to have him drop by the stage, interview the key players, and, over the following months, gather insights on how things evolved through the various phases of the production to compile the most relevant findings and insights into a concise, informative, and easy-to-digest white paper from ETC - Entertainment Technology Center @ USC designed by Yeji Seo.
