Clear Angle Studios

Huge news! We at Clear Angle Studios are thrilled to announce our partnership with DI4D , the premier independent facial capture and animation provider, and Texturing XYZ, the industry leader in high-resolution skin texture maps and advanced skin processing. Together, we've unveiled a 4D performance capture pipeline which produces per-frame maps at 24 frames per second. This enables the processed data to accurately display real-world detail to a previously unseen level through groundbreaking collaborative advancements. You have to see it to believe it! Huge thanks to DI4D and Texturing XYZ for making this extraordinary project possible. We couldn’t be prouder to be a part of it. https://lnkd.in/eKJYRVzF

Really exciting to see the incredible reviews coming out for The Substance, which premiered this week in competition at Cannes. The VFX department used the Dorothy system for 4D performance capture, which not only provides geometry but normal and displacement data for every single frame. We also did a day of prop scanning, all contributing to what sound like some really intense, gruesome scenes. It's great to work on something a little different and we're already planning an after hours trip to catch it at the cinema in all its gory glory. #thesubstance #Cannes2024 #vfx #visualeffects #3dscanning #performancecapture

When we say we'll go anywhere, we really mean it. Here's a great shot from the Canada team out on location this week, scanning characters in 'Pamela Scanderson', one of our mobile full body container systems. Stay warm team! #3dscanning #vfx #photogrammetry

ICYMI: We're proud to partner with Prism and Neirin Jones to produce some amazing results using AI processing on datasets from our multi-camera rigs. The possibilities of NeRF and Gaussian Splatting are incredibly exciting and we're looking forward to a more creative challenge than normal in exploring what this technology can do. Have a look at the article below and check out the Prism Instagram feed for a look at what we've been up to: https://lnkd.in/eKTsuT6Q #gaussiansplatting #NeRF #3dgs #vfx

We have been fortunate enough to be part of a fantastic initiative alongside some visionary folks over at the Creative Arts Agency (CAA). Will this initiative be part of normality going forwards? We certainly would like to think so. Empowering those that want to own and take control of their digital likeness, seems a fantastic step forward to us. #clear angle studios #creative arts agency #scanning #empower #digital double # 3D scanning #photogrammetry #dorothy #trust #talent control https://lnkd.in/e8sDH7xs

Huge congratulations to all of our friends and colleagues that worked on the final 20 VFX Oscar nominations for 2023! We at Clear Angle Studios were lucky enough to have worked on 10 out of the 20 nominations this year which meant we were lucky enough to have worked with 50% of you fine film makers and VFX'ers out there... Every year is a privilege and we'll cherish this year as much as we have done the last 10 years. Excited to see who makes the shortlisted 10 and then of course the final 5 nominees. Good luck to you all. ❤️

Pinewood Futures Festival is a wrap! The film industry is an incredible place to work, but it can be scary or frustrating trying to figure out how to get started. Events like the Futures Festival are so important to shine a light on the huge range of jobs available within the industry and inspire people to pursue a career here. Hopefully we were able to dispense some useful advice and encouragement but, at the very least, some people left having thought about 3D scanning for the first time, and that’s pretty cool too. If you came and spoke to us, it was lovely to meet you and we wish you the best of luck in the future. See you next year! #pinewoodstudios #pinewoodfutures #ukfilm #vfx #3dscanning #disney #marvel #starwars
