Talk about solutions for fulldome standardization regarding as well the diffusion and production. Immersion department of SAT developed production and diffusion pipelines that make content creation really easy for any artist and give them the possibility to diffuse in any kind of dome configuration even in pre-rendered mode or in live application, without having to care about the mapping of the projectors.
