Software to turn your Actors into 3D Characters

[Graeme]

Saw this on Indiegogo, I can see this as a super useful software for those of use who make sci-fi and fantasy films on a budget

It's called facerig and I thought I would share (hope that is okay) because this software is exactly what I'm looking for in my next movie which has a ship board AI and other talking head screens.

Looks interesting.

Heh, that's both amusing & amazing... what technology can trivially do now.

I recall buying a webcam maybe 10 years ago, that came with software purporting to have a similar function. It was terrible and looked awful, but had the same idea. This looks fantastic... and of course, the filmmaker spinoff applications will follow up in short order.

This seems like a really really light version of FaceShift. These kinds of software are quite nice, and make animating a lot easier. But I'm afraid it will just draw crowds of people who are clueless to the rest of the 3D pipeline, and will still end up with garbage, simply because they don't have the skills to model, texture, rig, light and render the heads properly.

P.S. Cool FaceShift video:

I saw Facerig the other day.

It does look fun.
