Simulon
Introduction
Simulon is a mobile app that brings professional-grade visual effects (VFX) to independent creators. Using an iPhone’s LiDAR, it scans real-world environments and captures lighting data to generate an HDRI (high dynamic range image). With this, users can place and render 3D models directly into live footage, achieving realistic composites with accurate lighting and shadows. The finished high-resolution scenes are rendered in the cloud for a polished final output.
