SOFTIMAGE®|FACE ROBOT ® v.1.9 offers a host of benefits for any character production pipeline:
Face Robot is the production toolset that simplifies the complex process of preparing the face for animation by creating organic skin movement as the user animates. As a result, artists have extremely precise control over their creations and are able to realize lifelike and emotive face animation more quickly and efficiently.
Face Robot revolutionizes the traditional time-consuming and complex process of preparing the face for animation. With its unique ‘jellyfish’ soft tissue solver, it dramatically decreases the time needed to go from modeling to animation.
Face Robot moves skin in an organic, lifelike manner and includes a corrective sculpting system that leaves artists in complete control.
Through its unique approach, Face Robot requires dramatically fewer markers for motion capture than traditional systems (around 30). As a result, Face Robot makes the simultaneous capturing of dialogue and face acting more economical and removes the correlation between the quantity of dialogue and the cost of animation for motion capture projects.
Using the Face Robot game export pipeline, artists now have a scalable solution for achieving high-quality in-game acting with detailed facial nuances. In addition, the ability to export the high-quality motion data provided by the upcoming Contour Reality Capture System directly into the Face Robot environment will create a powerful new end-to-end facial animation pipeline for both film and game productions.
Incorporating Face Robot into any character production pipeline is straightforward because of its support for the import and export of assets from applications such as Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Maya®. Face Robot also comes complete with a copy of Point Oven, offering .lwo2 and .psc support for robust interop with virtually any pipeline.
Face Robot v.1.9 interoperates with the following 3rd party products:
SOFTIMAGE|FACE ROBOT is available in two distinct versions. Face Robot Designer provides technical directors with a flexible platform for defining facial behavior. For animators, Face Robot Animator is a clean, artistic environment for keyframe animation and motion capture.
