https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJr76sTTZBc&feature=share I've been following 3Lateral for a while now, the results they get from their digi-human face rigs are among the best in the business. I admire their data driven approach to face rigging, but more importantly how the data is interpreted in a way that strongly respects real world anatomy. Nice to see a solid FACs rig in action, interfaces like these are not the most comfortable for an animator to use, but a necessary evil for this level of realism!

Really nice in-depth article from beforeandafters.com on the ILM IMocap system, something I've spent a good portion of my mocap career paying close attention to, nice to finally see an "official" explanation of the process! https://beforesandafters.com/2019/09/10/computer-pajamas-the-history-of-ilms-imocap/?fbclid=IwAR35cyQIYN2mt0traKgjhOl-wmg-dTCuzW_a4uQ1w6W8anelVWLqLT5SbW8
