Scenario Requirements Analysis
Movie and TV grade face-swapping needs to satisfy three major requirements at the same time: 4K resolution support, micro-expression fidelity, and synchronized multi-angle matching.
Specialized Application Solutions
- Multi-camera synergyAutomatic frame synchronization by inputting the time code of each camera for green-screen shooting of stand-in performance footage.
- Preparation of high-precision materials: Source face image suggested to use 360° light stage scans taken by ARRI Alexa 65
- Dynamic Enhancement Mode: Enabling the PIM-Pro module to handle sub-millimeter motion features such as muscle tremors
Workflow optimization
Recommended process: 1) Create actor 3D facial topology 2) Extract 23 BlendShape parameters 3) Pre-align chroma in DaVinci Resolve 4) Split batch rendering. Actual cases show that 85% of post roto labor time can be saved.
