Creating the spaceport environment for Dune: Prophecy

10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, DUNE: PROPHECY follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. DUNE: PROPHECY is inspired by the novel SISTERHOOD OF DUNE, and a HBO original drama series.  

Discover how the team at Accenture Song VFX built the CG spaceport environment of Zimia city. VFX Supervisor Peter Lames and VFX Producer Apollonia Hartmann will give insights from the concept phase, talk about the procedural approach, and how they overcame challenges throughout the project.
