Multiracial Facial Capture

Decent Essays
We don’t see much of the facial performance capture in movies as it requires a lot of effort. You have to record an actor making all kinds of facial expressions in different conditions frequently for training a capture system to match expressions, which is kind of difficult for a studio that doesn’t have much money. Disney Research has found a solution for this. It has developed a facial capture system that would dramatically reduce effort and time to capture facial expressions.
