More often than not, studios are up against the "one person, one day" rule in their approach to facial animation. Studios have one TD spend one day to create an entire facial rigging pipeline. Any artist will tell you that faces are the most recognizable conduit of emotion and any investment into the "emotional focus" of your character pays off in dividends by connecting your audience emotionally with your content and storyline.
With over ten years dedicated experience in facial rigging and modeling, our team of experts can be leveraged to produce stunning results on your own characters and be adapted to suit any constraints or technical requirements posed by your pipeline. Best of all, our character rigs have been optimized for the FACEWARE animation workflow. An animator is always limited by how well a character rig can perform. Edgeflow, mesh density, skinning, user interface, and deformation techniques significantly impact not only quality, but affect the speed at which you can produce results using any method for facial animation.
Our modeling and rigging pipeline utilizes tools and technology to optimize asset building and asset transfer for consistent, economical results to meet the demands of any schedule. We also can leverage multiple technologies into your pipeline, such as structured light or photogrammetric 3D scans of your characters, animated normal or deformation maps, as well as photo-real skin shading techniques. Additionally, we can work with your service providers to deliver a complete solution.
