Making great games is hard enough without worrying about building custom pipelines or fighting with your tools. Last fall, at Unite Austin 2017, Unity and Autodesk announced a collaborative partnership to build more connected workflows between Autodesk 3D tools and the Unity engine. In this session, Autodesk and Unity will give an update on that relationship, what new work has been done to improve the interop between our tools and share a sneak peek at what we’re exploring for the future.

PRODUCTION AND PIPELINE MANAGEMENT, SHARED LEARNING FROM THE TRENCHES
March 20th, 4:00PM, Moscone West Room 2024

In this panel we will explore the experiences of production management from people who have extensive experience managing demanding projects. We will learn what has worked or not worked in the past, what their current best practices are, and how they are preparing for the future.
