Intending to bring the upcoming ASSASSIN’S CREED movie VR experience to life, ASSASSIN’S AMD has announced AMD Radeon Pro Duo GPU featuring the AMD LiquidVR SDK. CREED VR is a film-based live action cinematic virtual reality experience produced all over the world that shot concurrently on-set with the ASSASSIN’S CREED film production. ASSASSIN’S CREED, starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, opens in theaters worldwide on Dec. 21, 2016. The newly announced AMD Radeon Pro Duo graphics card and AMD LiquidVR technology are foundational elements across the entire production of the ASSASSIN’S CREED VR experience.
By shooting on location, the studio is able to recreate the sets from the film at an extremely high quality level, using massive textures and complex geometry captured in places like Malta, Spain, and London.
“Virtual reality is here to stay. As AMD is strategically expanding its technological leadership in this emerging field, partnerships with leading VR content creators is crucial,” said Roy Taylor, corporate vice president, content and alliances, AMD. “In bringing the compute horsepower and the tools required for the creators of the ASSASSIN’S CREED VR experience, AMD is setting up to be a formidable force among world-class film and VR production studios.”
Announced earlier this week at Capsaicin, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo GPU featuring the AMD LiquidVR SDK is the world’s most powerful platform for VR1, with an astonishing 16 TFLOPS of compute performance, straddling the worlds of both content creation and consumption. Together with AMD LiquidVR technology, AMD enables rich and immersive VR experiences by simplifying and optimizing VR content creation, by creating a sense of “presence”.
