IMAGE METRICS MAKES FACIAL ANIMATION ACCESSIBLE
All use Image Metrics' proprietary facial animation technology to analyze an actor's facial performance and transfer it to a 3D facial rig.
The levels are defined as: Value, Pro, Premium and Elite.
Value is roughly half the cost of standard facial animation, and automatically generates high volumes of high-quality facial animation for secondary characters in games or for pre-viz purposes. Pro is designed for in-game scenes and offers more subtle facial movements on advanced games rigs as well as iterative cycles to help clients capture better performances. Premium provides greater creative control with pore-level analysis of facial movement and more fine-tuning of the performance. Clients would include those requiring CG faces for films, visual effects shots or television spots.
And the Elite level is Image Metrics' highest level of service, taking advantage of the best its technology-based service has to offer. Elite is designed for those working in HD or higher resolutions. The service supports multi-camera performance capture.
All service levels include a final output of animation curves that work with the leading 3D applications.
