Animation that mirrors your creative vision
The Image Metrics process takes the captured video from
< Step 1 and automatically applies the facial parameters to animation. This can be done to any digital character in any style you choose, allowing you to maintain complete artistic control from concept to completion.
Here's How It Works
- The video capture of the actor's performance is analyzed using our proprietary technology.
- We analyze all of the details that drive expression, from eye movement, both random and deliberate, to lip movement (including perfect lip syncing and tongue movement), to skin deformations and textures, such as wrinkles.
- The facial parameters we capture and analyze are then applied to a model and rig that you supply.
- Our in-house animation experts then fine-tune the animation to meet your creative vision.
- The end result is facial animation that brings out the realism of any character.
Animate Any CG Character
- From a CG model with a few bones to photo-real avatars with hundreds of blend shapes, Image Metrics technology gives life to any character.
- The number of measurements taken and converted to animation data is specified by the complexity of the 3D model.
Style the Final Animation
- You can choose to match the performance exactly; or Image Metrics, guided by your creative input, can control the style of the animation. For example, we can make it more subtle or more exaggerated than the original performance.
- Changes made to the animation can be done automatically or by hand. You maintain complete artistic control from start to finish.
