With SIGGRAPH 2008 only a week away, VFXWORLD got an early sneak peek of an eagerly awaited Tech Talk being given next Wednesday from 1:00-2:30 pm in Hall G, Room 2: "Getting Real with Emily: Achieving Photo-Real Facial Animation with Image Metrics." This life-like CG character developed in conjunction with 3D digital scanning provided by Paul Debevec of USC's Institute for Creative Technologies is analyzed by the Digital Eye's own Peter Plantec. Can't wait to see the demo.
