The Rig had already been built before EPIC’s Kim Libreri came looking for a demo to showcase the power of UE4. The body solution was combined with a face that was solved by Cubic Motion’s algorithms into a complex 3Lateral Rig. Most of the technology for the body capture is off the shelf and takes very little time to set up. The body data was input via an Xsens rig, feeding an IKinema solution directly into Epic’s UE4. wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Hellblade_Senua.mp4 The face and the body solutions were then combined and rendered in real time in the Unreal Engine with some custom modifications. The Body data fed the IKinema body IK system. The face data fed the 3Lateral rig via the Cubic Motion’s solver. To summarise the process, her face was filmed with a mono head camera, and her body tracked via an Xsens rig. Melina Juergens, Ninja Theory’s video editor, was the model for Senua and the performance artist who drove the rig at GDC. The actual Melina Juergens, Ninja Theory’s video editor and now lead actress. To achieve this the team used the most cutting edge facial rigs, latest advances in eye modeling, rendering and deep learning algorithms. This remarkable project came together in just 8 weeks. Ninja Theory’s CCO Tameem Antoniades and EPIC Game’s CTO Kim Libreri presented the one of the most realistic real time motion captured and rendered humans at GDC 2016 last month, pulling together global specialists in both body and facial animation. Fxguide’s own Mike Seymour is hosting the Thursday sessions on Digital Humans featuring the EPIC Senua pipeline as well as talks by leading artists from Disney Zurich, MPC, Pixar and the latest work from the Digital Human League Research group. This piece is also a primer for fxguide readers attending the FMX conference in Germany this week, where the key members of the EPIC Senua team will be speaking. Audiences were stunned at the real time performance and we were keen to explore here a more in depth piece expanding upon the actual pipeline of making Senua. Fxguide covered the incredible live demo done by the team at Epic, Ninja theory, 3Lateral, Cubic Motion and others at this year’s GDC.
