Sony has showcased a type of collaborative virtual effects system that uses Unreal Engine 5 and a motion capture "camera" rig that instead of using a real camera, it controls a virtual camera that exists in a 3D space.
Wonder Studio from developer Wonder Dynamics is a browser-based platform that allows editors to drag and drop any computer-generated character into any scene seamlessly using artificial intelligence. In short, it can perfectly replace any actor with a 3D model.
An artist has integrated facial motion capture in an online exhibition that explores the military industry's "disfigurement" of San Diego, California in an attempt to share a largely untold part of the region's history.
In addition to the typical time intervalometer, Snaperture is a new camera trigger that combines all the popular ways of firing a camera shutter into one product using sensors that can react to light, sound, movement, and even distance.
Traditional 3D motion capture technologies, amazing though they are, are limited. They only give you a small number of data points to work with, and while they seem to capture a great deal of detail, their abilities are far outpaced by the intricate movements of the human body.
Fortunately, there’s a new technology in development that might just be able to solve this problem by throwing a crap-load of cameras at it.
