2K vs 4K showcase, Take a look at the making of 'Insects' for Xbox One X, Mill+'s recent real-time project created in partnership with Microsoft. The interactive experience, directed by Robert Sethi, is designed to showcase the cutting-edge capabilities of the anticipated Xbox One X.
The 60-second piece depicts a vibrant journey through a ladybug’s CGI world. Users can toggle between feature configurations for 4K Ultra HD, wide color gamut, high dynamic range rendering and spatial audio, offering a close-up look at the granular level of detail within the Xbox One X at 60 FPS. They can also alter the color of flowers, the ladybugs themselves, and even the time of day.
