Avatar and mocap

Post by curly01 »

Seems like the new blockbuster movie "Avatar" was made with mocap.

Any details on that? Apparantly they could parent the facial mocap to the rig. We would like to see that in naturalpoint systems also. They attached a tracking camera to a helmet of the actor and also tracked the full body. Are we going to see something like that also in your product range. (I hope so.)

I don't think we're releasing any specifics yet, but I do know that we're iterating on some new ideas for our systems that Avatar happened to use as well. Of course, as usual, we're looking to set the price point a bit lower, to make it available to a larger audience. :)
