Lucas Films Rensselaer has long believed in blending various disciplines with leading-edge technologies. Science, engineering, and other subjects are pushed to new levels via the tools of the Information Age. The very essence of architecture is the innovative use and function of space. Thus, virtual sets are right in line with our way of thinking. However, they also offer a variety of practical benefits.
Real sets require real storage space, but virtual sets live happily in a hard drive.

Because solving real-world challenges is our mission and our passion.
