Alex and Tim Porter have the perfect skillset of a VFX power couple. Alex has a background in interior design, which she leveraged into user experience and virtual spaces. Tim, meanwhile, has worked in games and VFX, beginning as an artist but gravitating towards developing tools and scripts that make it easy to create complicated environments and characters.
Together, Alex and Tim have established Mod Tech Labs, bringing together their expertise for a new generation of visual content creation. Their tools make it easy to work across platforms — from games to movies, and from LED walls to smartwatches — while maintaining high visual fidelity. Alex and Tim talk about what Mod Tech Labs is doing differently, how they’re making use of cutting-edge tech such as USD and AI, and how their approach could reduce the huge costs of virtual production.
