Your character  is ready for action. He or she looks photo-realistic and ready to take on the world. But how do you bring your character to life? The favored way to get this done these days is with motion capture. Which mo-cap system to use takes some research; either Optical based system or Inertial based system. Both of these systems (plus some other hybrids) have their advantages and disadvantages. Once you see samples you will get a better idea of which is best suited to match your project, and the result you need.

Once you get the character's body

all set up, you move on to the most important part - the face. The head, being 3D scanned, is normally done with a neutral expression. If you are doing facial performance you should add a number of expressions. This will give you key frames for the actual facial look of your character, thus making them more realistic.

    

TNG is deepening our dive into providing more specialized, facial-expression 3D scanning services to get you what you need. Whether it is 10, 40 or 65 scans, the process will be quick (and we can come to you). You will also get expressions that have the same point order and poly count to make the blend-shapes work effortlessly. This is based on Photogrammetry.

Express yourself !

We are always striving to keep our services new and fresh, to keep step with current developments. New services for new times, to get more in less time.

Virtual Reality, the immersive, cutting-edge technology has begun its second wave of games and experiences. In 2016, with the VR headsets just coming out, the cellphone VR (often made of cardboard) was the main platform everyone got to try. It teased the potential of VR, but didn't convert the masses to become a VR gamer. It's not enough to have the technology to allow for VR, we also need the content, game mechanics, and level design that will convince people to spend time in VR. However, presently, the total cost of any of the VR headsets is blocking out too much of the community of people who are interested, but can't afford or are unwilling to invest the necessary money for VR.

HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

The Oculus Rift is $600, and the HTC Vive is $800 - both require a very powerful computer, which can be $2,000. So you can see the buy-in for PC gaming VR is about $3,000. The alternative is the PSVR, which is currently dominating the market. It's buy-in is $500 for the headset, camera, and controllers; and $400 for a PS4 Pro, making for a $1,000 total. All of these prices sound high, and are most certainly a deterrent holding the technology back. For comparison, the non-VR gaming console Nintendo Switch is $450.

Farpoint by Impulse Gear is a new VR game for the PSVR. This is the first game to utilize the new VR gun accessory called the PS Aim controller. This is a breakthrough in VR gaming. It feels like you're playing laser tag or paintball. In real life, you're standing up, and holding the gun, and in VR when you look through the scope, you line up your shots. The accuracy is incredible. On the gun controller are joysticks for movement along with all the other buttons of a controller, allowing for more nuanced game mechanics than just pulling a trigger. Crouching in real life, lets you crouch in VR, and can save your life when there are bullets whizzing by and drones shooting rockets. The VR helmet has a microphone built in, and thus anyone you play with, you can start speaking to immediately.

VR: Building its market in 2017.

We are excited to see what E3 2017 has in store for VR. To make for a believable world, the assets must be accurate and real looking, and to achieve that we recommend 3D scanning for the environments, characters, vehicles, and props.
