ILM's facial performance capture system records an actor's on-set facial performance and reproduces it with cinematic fidelity onto a realistic digital character. It has brought to life over two dozen characters on over 1200 performances for films including "Warcraft", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

This talk introduces a new generalized way of storing and restituting surface corrections and automating their blending by using live surface-shape analysis combined with interpolators based Radial Basis Function (RBF).

This novel tool for transferring facial motion capture performance combines the shape deformation techniques of Deformation Transfer and As-Rigid-As-Possible, and allows users to control the balance between animation fidelity and physically plausible deformation.

From facial lacerations that follow slight stretching of the skin to deformations of hard-bodied objects or subtle nuances of water simulations, this method automatically warps an image across a sequence from any arbitrary frame to any other using accumulated motion vectors, minimizing the keyframes needed to produce high-quality results.
