Motion (and facial) capturing for Star Citizen at The Imaginarium. Thats the company founded by Andy "Gollum" Serkis. We all know his level of quality in this field from the Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes. Those scenes are showing "first steps". What i personally find interesting is that the can stream the data LIVE into the gaming engine and watch the in game results directly. Which means they can show it to the actors and go again for a better next try.

Also interesting was the information that they will bring in not only actors but also professional soldiers and a military advisor to do the motion capturing. Should give more realistic moves and less Hollywood style combat method acting.

 

Have fun
