Introducing DI4D's Neural Rig Technology: Redefining Facial Animation Fidelity.

We're proud to unveil our Neural Rig technology, a highly efficient rigging solution engineered to reproduce every nuance of a real-life actor's facial performance. Leveraging advanced machine learning, this innovative solution analyzes just a few minutes of 4D facial performance data to construct an actor-specific facial animation rig.

Integrated within our PURE4D facial animation solution, Neural Rig provides animators with unparalleled editing control, all while maintaining absolute faithfulness to the actor’s original performance. This represents a significant leap forward in digital character realism.

The face of war...

“Winner Takes All” is an award-winning, CG animated trailer promoting the release of Morefun Studios’ game, Arena Breakout.

Directed by Morten Vinther, the cinematics were created by The Mill.

The trailer use multiple perspectives to tell a story which is both gritty and thrilling, depicting a dark warzone that contains competing special forces units. The Mill used our specialist facial capture service and technology to obtain highly engaging acting performances to drive the facial animation.

First, HMC systems were used to capture the facial performances of the actors simultaneously with body mocap on Rouge Mocap's LA stage. Then, the actors repeated their facial and voice performances in Rouge’s ADR booth while they were captured in even higher fidelity using our seated DI4D PRO system.

The resulting facial animation was stunningly effective.

DI4D helped The Mill deliver realistic facial animation for Arena Breakout's cinematic trailer.
