What’s new about the capture system? It’s the live rending of the performer’s expressions. The main focus here is the face. Being able to see the 3D results while recording is a huge step for the CG industry. The directors can control the facial expressions each frame and make the right decisions.
Only one face camera and a few mocap dots are used to detect the changes. This simplified recording is then compared to a higher resolution 3D capture of the actor’s face that’s been taken beforehand.
Make sure to watch the full video from BBC to get more details on the new system.
