Face Capture shoot Tom Stone

Was a late night last night.

As soon as I finished the day job, I set up the Mocap volume for Face Capture, and set about getting data for Tom Stones tests….

This is just a clip from a much longer video about the process. Hope to upload the whole piece at the weekend…

A small tease of a video that should come later that will show the entire face cap procedure…

Tom Stone head TT

Latest Look Dev on the TS head

I think I can leave this as is for a while. Further tweaks will probably come after he has been rigged

It will be great to finally see these two in the same render!

Head almost done

Spent today rebuilding the previous version.

here he is now with a small pose. Need to do the uvs, proper shaders, inside mouth and the all important hair. Then I rig for facial animation AND mocap and away we go!

he is looking a little “young” and fresh faced at the moment. Even boyish.. but once done will be a lot grittier!

Im back on track!

Weekends and evenings have been reclaimed! Next weekend I am doing a face capture session for the audio that was recorded last year for Major Tom Stone. I think the plan is to design a new face template on Saturday and then shoot on Sunday. I will be videoing the entire process as I go along. Then, in parallel to that, I need to get the TS head and body finished. Im of to Utah in April for 3 months and plan to do ALL the post work on this test in the lonley Utah evenings

Shortly after the shoot, I hope to announce a little more about Major Tom Stone

Shortest happy post
