Quantum Break Licenses DI4D Facial Motion Capture Tools

Dimensional Imaging’s DI4D software licensed by Remedy for next generation facial performance capture.

Dimensional Imaging today announces that Remedy Entertainment has licensed its DI4D facial performance capture software for use in the development of its upcoming Xbox One title Quantum Break. DI4D is able to derive super high definition facial motion capture from an array of nine standard video cameras, without using markers, makeup or special illumination. Remedy will use DI4D software to process facial performance capture in Quantum Break.

Sam Lake, Creative Director of Remedy said: “Quantum Break is a hugely ambitious project that combines action and narrative components in a unique way to bring the characters to life. The only way to achieve the high quality of performance was to create highly realistic digital doubles of talented actors. By using Dimensional Imaging’s DI4D facial performance-capture solution combined with Remedy’s Northlight storytelling technology we can ensure that every nuance of the actors’ performances are captured on screen.”

Colin Urquhart, CEO of Dimensional Imaging said: “We are delighted that Remedy are planning to use the DI4D system for even more facial performance capture in Quantum Break. This provides further evidence that our DI4D solution not only delivers the enhanced quality of facial performance capture required for ambitious next generation games, but that it also provides an efficient production ready pipeline. We can’t wait to see more awesome animation like Remedy showcased in their Quantum Break E3 trailer!”
