Image Metrics is pushing the limits setting a new standard in digital imagery!!

“One of the attributes that sets Image Metrics apart is their unencumbered video-capture process. Using standard or HD cameras, or a head-mounted camera, an actor’s performance is perfectly captured with all of its nuances and subtleties.

There are no time-consuming markers or makeup to apply. The director is free to capture the performance he or she needs, while the actor has the freedom to move unhindered about the stage. The result is spectacular performance-driven animation every time.”

Emily - the woman in the above animation - was produced using a new modeling technology that enables the most minute details of a facial expression to be captured and recreated.

It’s a monumental achievement, recreating every nuance of human facial expression, skin detail, body language, etc.

Mind blowing!
