3Lateral otkriva novu tehnologiju u oblasti digitalnog čoveka i karaktera

22. August 2018. Zlatko Milojičić Leave a comment

I dok odbrojavamo do još par meseci do CGA 2018, i prvih najava gostiju, srpski CG profesionalci su bili vrlo vidjeni na Siggraphu u Vankuveru.

Ranije ove godine 3Latera je predstavio svoju tehnologiju Meta Human Framework koja je omogućila da digitalni Andy i digitalnu karakter Osiris Black budu animirani zahvaljujući vulemetrijskom sistemu snimanja pokreta lica.

Pre nekoliko dana 3Laterala je na SIGGRAPH 2018 predstavio novi performans gde se može videti kako se Osiris Black savršeno pretapa u Andy Serkisa dok izgovara reči iz Šekspirovog Magbeta.

Ovaj demo predstavlja ilustraciju 3Laterovog Rig Logic-a i Gene Splicer-a, kako deo Meta Human Framework, koji omogućava pretapanje između vazemaljskog i ljudskog bića. Ono što je posebno zanimljivo jeste da ista animacija kontroliše oba karaktera, što dotano ilustruje moć 3Laterove tehnologije.

3Lateral je izgrađen na želji za kreiranjem likova i stvorenja sa posebnim fokusom na razvoju tehnologije omogućavajući besprekornu i stvarnu digitalizaciju ljudskih likova.

Okuplja najraznovrsnije profile ljudi s obzirom na to da je industrija koja spaja naizgled nekompatibilne veštine – buntovnu umetnost i disciplinovanu inženjersku praksu.

The Making of Next-Gen Digital Humans with Andy Serkis by 3Lateral

22. March 2018. Zlatko Milojičić Leave a comment

3Lateral demonstrated its most advanced human-driven digital characters featuring actor Andy Serkis. These characters define new quality frontiers when it comes to lifelike and realistic facial gesticulation and appearance, all rendered in real-time in Unreal Engine. The demo was developed in collaboration with Epic games and revealed during “State of Unreal” opening keynote session on March 21st at the Game Developers Conference 2018.

3Lateral applied its new Meta Human Framework© that merges volumetric capture, reconstruction and compression technology to bring to life breakthrough digital replica of Andy Serkis and his performance. Andy’s performance was then mapped onto 3Lateral’s fictional digital creature, Osiris Black, to demonstrate how the same facial performance can drive two vastly different characters.

Epic Games and 3Lateral Introduce Digital Andy Serkis

21. March 2018. Zlatko Milojičić Leave a comment

A stunning development in real-time human-driven digital characters featuring actor Andy Serkis was unveiled during Epic Games’ “State of Unreal” opening session today at the Game Developers Conference.

Unreal Engine’s real-time rendering combined with 3Lateral’s Meta Human Framework© volumetric capture, reconstruction and compression technology brought this breakthrough digital human performance to life. The volumetric data was generated by capturing a series of high-quality, HFR images of Andy Serkis from multiple angles under controlled lighting. 3Lateral’s process involved various capture scenarios, some focused on geometry, some on appearance and others on motion. All of these inputs were applied to generate a digital representation of Andy Serkis, and to extract universal facial semantics that represent muscular contractions that make the performance so lifelike.
