Anyone who has ever opened an empty 3D scene in a game engine knows the problem: technically, everything is there. The walls are up, the furniture is placed, and the lighting works.

That’s exactly why, in the development of Forensics: Crime Scene Detective , we spend a surprisingly large amount of time “d…

A match can strongly link a person to the evidence. Curious how forensics works in a rea…

Curious how forensics works in a real lab? ➡ Read more! 🤝 In…
