Okay, so after watching the i was dazzled,amazed,shocked,pwned, phew…the sensation is unexplainable. At first I thought that was a real human being, just after i got to the effects overlay part.
The video was made by Image Metrics Animation Studio , go ahead, vsiit the website and press the big “Play” button and get amazed once again. Dang that’s some cutting edge animation and the most important part that got my attention is that only a camera and a sofware is required to adapt the facial movements to the virtual character.
Image Metrics’s client base speaks for itself: From EA Games to ATI and Capcom, they’ve worked with lots of Large companies.
As you know in the new Need For Speed (NFS Undercover) the role of the federal agent Chase Linh will be played Maggie Q. Nfs Undercover will be launched in Europe this november(as usually in every year). Hopefully this version of NFS will be more enjoyable than its predecessor Pro Street.
I wonder…were the animation scenes (movie scenes) made by Image Metrics?
Check out the Need For Speed: Undercover trailer:
