about Image Metrics

Image Metrics' performance-driven facial animation is creating some of the most emotionally compelling animated characters in today's video games, CG feature films and visual effects. Developed over the past seven years by a team of Ph.D. physicists and experts in automated computer visioning, the technology has been successfully applied in more than 40 video games, movies and commercials worldwide.

The company’s proprietary facial animation technology far exceeds traditional motion capture systems and keyframing approaches. Using groundbreaking markerless and makeup-free techniques, Image Metrics captures all of the subtleties and nuances of human facial performance, including pupil dilation, as well as eye, tongue and lip movement.

Based in Santa Monica, CA with R&D headquarters in Manchester, England, Image Metrics produces facial animation for a number of blue-chip clients, including Electronic Arts, Sony Games Worldwide Studios, Rockstar Games, Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures Imageworks.
