A behind-the-scenes look at Digital Domain's facial animation process.
Today is Before after In the podcast, we speak with Hanno Basse, CTO at Digital Domain, about Masquerade3, DD's in-house facial capture tool. This is the latest version of the tool, which features markerless facial capture, which essentially means that there's no need for makeup to place physical markers on the performer's face. Hanno talks to us about the evolution of Masquerade, and specifically how machine learning has helped bring the tool to life.
