Mike Hodgetts Presents at BlenderCon 2025
We’re incredibly proud of our co-founder and Head of CG, Mike Hodgetts, who presented this year at BlenderCon 2025, sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the procedural workflows powering Sim-Plates.
Mike speaking at Blender Conference 2025, the official conference for Blender professionals.
A cornerstone of the Sim-Plates IP is the custom toolset Mike has developed from the ground up—designed specifically to solve the unique challenges of Virtual Production and car process work.
With Mike’s tools, we can generate fully animated, high-density driving scenes in under a day—featuring hundreds of moving cars, animated pedestrians, and city environments that scale automatically based on the camera speed and length of road needed.
Our pipeline leverages the strengths of both Blender and Octane, seamlessly blending the two into a flexible and powerful system. The result? The world’s only procedural driving plate generator purpose-built for high-end Virtual Production.
