Character Replacement

Posted by Ngô Anh Khoa

I recommend that you watch this video first and tell me what do you think about this video? More specific, about the girl in the video?



Ok, then i will tell you that the girl in this video is not real, she is a 3D character who is the result of the render process of Image Metrics company. This is the new technology that Image Metrics use to create character which has the gesture and emotion like real people. Actually, these motion are base on Motion Capture technology but in higher level. It do not need to capture the motion first and then render the entire movie out, but it create all the chacracter's motion in real-time. That mean it will take all the motion of the real character and apply on the 3D character immediately.

This technology is being use by many large game development such as Capcom, Activision, 2K Games, ATI, EA Games, Epic Games, Konami, Eidos, THQ, Vivendi, Sony...to create next-gen game. And the first game that show us this technology is Heavy Rain.
