Last night’s House had an unusual addition: a Virtual Reality first-person shooter that showcased some fantastic visual effects work. The in-game footage was created by Encore Hollywood.
The massive undertaking involved motion capture as well as more than 15 artists working in Autodesk packages 3D Studio Max and Inferno, as well as eyeon Fusion, among other tools, to build the multilayered environment required to bring the world of “Savage” and its chimera-style mutant characters to life.
“These ‘Savage’ sequences presented us with a tremendous opportunity to demonstrate what our visual effects team at Encore can do, and we were excited tackle this amazing challenge,” says Tom Kendall, Encore Hollywood Executive Producer for Visual Effects.
It was a great episode, but the in-game footage had me waiting for the game tie-in promo, which never game.

I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wish SavageScape was a real game! I would choose the chimpanzee EVERY time! Sick ass visuals!They should have realized anyone who saw that episode, and then the next one when house was playing it, that people like me would search to see if it was an actual game…(even if it was just a ps3 or xbox game) I would have still wanted to buy it, and definately would have if it were, a REAL game! The people at encore should think about hooking up with some game creators..just my opinion! 🙂
