Netflix builds a validation framework for Unreal Engine virtual production

Netflix is pointing to a practical bottleneck in virtual production: as real-time workflows and game engines like Unreal Engine spread, configuration errors become a larger operational risk. That matters for studios and vendors because the value of ICVFX depends not just on the engine, but on whether a production can validate its settings consistently. The competitive signal here is less about creative capability than about workflow reliability and standardization. What to watch next is whether Netflix publishes the validation framework itself, along with any specific configuration checks or recommended settings.
