Introduction of the Interactive Cinematics in 'Cyberpunk 2077'
summary
CD Projekt RED reworks its pipeline for Cyberpunk 2077 on REDengine 4 with a Writer - Quest Designer - Cinematic Designer flow and a unified scene editor (preview viewport, timelines, screenplay, directional graph). Interactive scenes handle first‑person smoothing, 90% of scenes ship dual male/female variants, VO uses Google Wavenet with automated lip sync, and a token-based signal system runs up to 200 active scene instances with a 4 MB runtime sync budget. Event→action→composer execution resolves ordering and external system conflicts.
