Faceware Solution (Beta)

Image Metrics is offering a small number of visual effects and film studios access to the Performance Transfer portion of its facial animation technology for the first time. If you are one of these studios, the new Performance Transfer solution, now in beta, will enable you to incorporate the power of Image Metrics' facial animation technology into your internal pipelines for increased creative control, cost-efficiencies and production speed.

Image Metrics produces facial animation in three easy steps: Performance Capture, Performance Analysis and Performance Transfer. The new service enables you to manage that final step of the process in-house, increasing your creative control while benefiting from the efficiency and cost-savings that Image Metrics' facial animation technology offers.

Benefits:

Improved Speed and Cost Efficiency: Image Metrics' services automate the facial animation process. This not only enables much faster animation compared to traditional methods; it also reduces the costs associated with longer production schedules.

Even More Creative Control: With direct access to Image Metrics' new Performance Transfer solution, you will be able to manage the creative process of applying the analysis data to the CG model and polishing the character's facial performance in-house.

Seamless Pipeline Integration: The in-house offering can be integrated with popular 3D animation applications, such as Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max and XSI, to fit within your existing workflow.
