once capture the animation can't be changed. So this technology has a big problem

You're right, as he said, it's a volumetric render. It's not an 'image format'.You can rotate it and perhaps he should have done so to take the point home, but nevertheless he made it clear.

The movements were captured in a lightstage and, I suppose, the dataset was put into a computer. After that I guess they could animate. they say it was CG rendered.Image Metrics allows animators to tweak and polish after they have the dataset.I'm no expert and I would like to know what is happening there.

Its insane because thats not 3D, its actually an image format that has so much data per pixel , that can then be re lit in realtime, but only the original video.You cannot rotate or animate this.Still damn cool tech... Paul Debevec rocks!

The cg girl at 6:11 is absolutely insane!!!You could put her arguing with Davy Jones and she would look better.I can't wait for people to snap and say "Oh! It isn't real??"For a while I was fooled by Davy Jones, and I thought it was a mask.I can't wait for the stuff that this technology will give us now.

Ok -- Part 2 is now live.

For some reason, Part 2 didn't upload correctly. Pilot error I'm sure. I am reloading it now. |
