Press Release: Glasgow, Scotland, 25
th of November 2013 - Dimensional Imaging today
announces that Remedy Entertainment has licensed its
DI4D™facial performance capture software for use in the
development of its upcoming Xbox One title Quantum Break.
DI4D™ is able to derive super high definition facial motion
capture from an array of nine standard video cameras, without using
markers, makeup or special illumination. Remedy will use
DI4D™ software to process facial performance capture in
Quantum Break.
Sam Lake, Creative Director of Remedy said: “Quantum Break
is a hugely ambitious project that combines action and narrative
components in a unique way to bring the characters to life. The
only way to achieve the high quality of performance was to create
highly realistic digital doubles of talented actors. By using
Dimensional Imaging’s DI4D™ facial performance-capture
solution combined with Remedy’s Northlight storytelling
technology we can ensure that every nuance of the actors’
performances are captured on screen.”
Colin Urquhart, CEO of Dimensional Imaging said: “We are
delighted that Remedy are planning to use the DI4D™ system
for even more facial performance capture in Quantum Break. This
provides further evidence that our DI4D™ solution not only
delivers the enhanced quality of facial performance capture
required for ambitious next generation games, but that it also
provides an efficient production ready pipeline. We can’t
wait to see more awesome animation like Remedy showcased in their
Quantum Break E3 trailer!”
