[Making of] Horizon: Zero Dawn - Recreating Aloy in Augmented Reality! Speedrun.

Horizon Zero Dawn photogrammetry to Augmented Reality workflow

This is something I've been thinking of doing for the longest time. Some of the new PS4 games come with an in-game photo mode, allowing you to pause the game and enjoy the game environment from various angles - and that gave me an idea!

I've decided to re-create the game character of Horizon: Zero Dawn, Aloy by taking a number of screenshots using the photomode, importing them into Reality Capture 2.0, turning them into a 3D mesh and then optimizing for Augmented Reality viewing

Yes! You can now literally "stand" next to Aloy!

You can try it yourself, by going into Sketchfab, loading the model and selecting the AR button: https://skfb.ly/6zFoA
