How Undead Labs saved itself and State of Decay from oblivion
Undead Labs has successfully navigated a complex transition from a Microsoft-owned entity to an independent, employee-owned studio.
- Undead Labs transitioned from a Microsoft-owned entity to an independent, employee-owned studio to ensure the long-term viability of the State of Decay franchise.
- The studio implemented a workforce reduction to align operational costs with its new independent model while issuing stock options to remaining staff to foster shared ownership.
- The State of Decay franchise has reached a milestone of 25 million players, with significant growth driven by the discoverability and scale of Xbox Game Pass.
Low Cost Facial Scanning Using Photogrammetry in State of Decay 2
The integration of a low-cost photogrammetry pipeline into the production of State of Decay 2 demonstrates a successful shift toward efficient, scalable character asset creation.
- The implementation of a $500 single-camera photogrammetry rig reduced character head model production time from one week to one day.
- The workflow successfully generated over 200 raw scans, resulting in 75 unique, high-fidelity character faces for State of Decay 2.
- Technical success requires manual camera settings, RAW file formats, and the use of polarizing filters and anti-shine powder to neutralize skin reflectivity and specular highlights.
