Vendors, service providers, and studios devise and apply state-of-the-art facial motion-capture tools and techniques

摘要

If eyes are the window to the soul, then the face surely is the front door. For many years, CG artists and animators have tried to reproduce human faces digitally and to produce creatures with human emotions that play across their faces. Those with a keen eye for detail have painstakingly copied expressions frame by frame from video onto digital characters. And for many years, CG scientists have helped make that task easier and faster by creating camera- and sensor-based systems that capture, with various degrees of accuracy and artistry, human faces in motion - thus, giving the artists and animators a digital starting point based in reality.
