DI4D

DOUBLE – a CG animation starring Neil Newbon. Double celebrates the historic art form of acting, from its most ancient roots to its most modern digital form. The highly realistic reproduction of Neil Newbon’s acting performance was made possible with our PURE4D 2.0 pipeline, an innovative approach to facial animation that is entirely performance driven.  Find out more about DOUBLE: https://lnkd.in/eRPqayjP #NeilNewbon #Digitaldouble #facialanimation #motioncapture #facialcapture #CG #animation  

#BlackOps6 reviews have been overwhelmingly positive so far, noting the incredible visuals produced by Treyarch, Raven Software and Activision. We're proud to have collaborated on the project, delivering facial capture and animation services to support some of the in-game characters and cinematics. "The characters speak and move as naturally as I remember seeing in video game cutscenes" – Forbes. https://lnkd.in/et-Dd4PT "A shout-out must also go to the quality animation on display, a technical area that can sometimes be taken for granted" – IGN. https://lnkd.in/e5vGa3Wb #facialanimation #digitaldoubles #PURE4D #performancecapture

A huge thank you to Treyarch, Raven Software and Activision for selecting DI4D to provide facial capture and animation services for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, our third consecutive Call of Duty. It was a fantastic project to be involved in and the final animation looks amazing!

We're pleased to announce our collaboration with Treyarch, Raven Software and Activision on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, available now.     Players will discover a shadowy clandestine force has infiltrated the highest levels of the CIA, resulting in Frank Woods' Black Ops team being hunted by the very military machine which created them.     Our team provided facial capture and animation services to support some of the in-game characters and cinematics.     #BlackOps6 #Facialanimation #PURE4D https://lnkd.in/eXAtRdSc

Neil Newbon gives his advice on building believable characters when acting. One of the best aspects of using facial performance capture to drive facial animation is authenticity. It's as real as a stage or movie performance. This means expert talents, like Neil, are able to fully embrace the technology and contribute to engaging narratives in video games.

In case you missed it ⬇ We recently announced a joint collaboration with Clear Angle Studios & #TexturingXYZ, delivering per-frame map data for the very first time. The end result is almost indistinguishable from real footage. Watch our demo below and find out more here: https://lnkd.in/e7QwjP2K

A priveldge to get to do what I do - without so many of you in the industry taking a chance on me, I would never have been given the opportunity- thank you x I hope people will always choose to use human performers / artists for over AI in all fields - I don’t believe what people bring to a project can fully be replicated by advanced software with the same feeling or consistency and originality - it was great to talk to DI4D and do this lovely shoot with them x thanks again for asking me x

In this clip, Neil Newbon describes the synthesis of styles in Performance Capture. From the physicality of Theatre to the subtlety found in cinema, acting for video games takes the best from all mediums to create something unique. We tried to capture this in the script for the CG animation DOUBLE, which reproduced Neil's performance as a digital double using PURE4D 2.0.
