At SIGGRAPH 2024, Clear Angle Studios, DI4D, and TexturingXYZ announced collaboration on new standard of performance-driven digital human faces; video offers a glimpse into the ‘future of interactive entertainment.’
New system combines proprietary technology with machine learning; performance is realized without animation rigs, creating a realistic animated digital double ready for in-engine use.
The overall VFX supervisor riffs on witness cameras, bleak L.A. cityscapes and the super-secret digital recreation of Rachael in Denis Villeneuve’s mesmerizing ‘Blade Runner’ sequel.
Proprietary ‘motion scanning’ technology captures 4D data comprising video rate 3D surface scans tracked with a dense fixed topology mesh.
Leading motion- and facial-capture companies Animatrik Film Design, Dimensional Imaging (DI4D), and Technoprops to host Open House events January 19-22 in Del Rey, CA.
