Patrick Tubach, VFX supervisor at Epic Games, has pushed back against director Gore Verbinski’s recent comments suggesting that Unreal Engine is harming the quality of movie CGI. Verbinski argued that the technology’s rise could be making visual effects look worse. Tubach disagrees, emphasizing that the quality and style of CGI ultimately come down to the artists, not the software they use. In his view, it’s misleading for anyone in the industry to pin responsibility on a single tool when it comes to the aesthetics or craftsmanship of visual effects. This response underscores the ongoing debate over how new real-time engines like Unreal are reshaping filmmaking, with Epic making clear that their technology is just one part of a much bigger creative process.
