Revolutionizing Facial Capture: FACEGOOD Unveils P2 System & Avatary Studio

Facial capture technology is a cornerstone of CG and game production workflows, enabling the creation of highly accurate facial animations from live performances. FACEGOOD, whose facial capture technology is trusted by top companies for major productions like Black Myth: Wukong, has just launched its latest solution: the P2 real-time facial capture system and the Avatary Studio universal facial capture solver software. This combination is designed to set a new benchmark for performance, efficiency, and creative freedom, transforming the landscape of digital content creation and virtual character production.

The P2 system meets the industry's demand for both advanced performance and an intuitive user experience, with major improvements in three areas: high frame rate capture with 120 FPS, ensuring smooth, stable recordings and enabling real-time solving, comfort-driven design, featuring a lightweight build of just 380 grams, and operational efficiency, reducing setup times from the industry standard of 30 minutes to just a few minutes.

The system features an innovative architecture developed by FACEGOOD, eliminating traditional wireless transmission bottlenecks. Each actor's device is equipped with an edge computer that manages local video recording and real-time facial solving, while the central control unit focuses on management and coordination. This setup provides several advantages:

• Supports unlimited simultaneous performers with wireless real-time capture;
• Offers automated sync recording with timecode support, preventing recording errors and ensuring no footage is lost;
• Enables precise real-time capture, adaptable to various custom facial rig setups.

The P2 system supports synchronized, trigger-based recording via a mocap trigger function, ensuring seamless integration and precise coordination during production. Moreover, it's fully compatible with leading motion capture systems such as Vicon, OptiTrack, Xsens, Rokoko, Noitom, Qualisys, PeelCapture, and others, providing users with flexible integration options.

Aiming to set a new standard for solving facial performance data, Avatary Studio is a universal solver software that enhances precision, flexibility, and efficiency in facial capture post-processing.

It works seamlessly with various devices, including FACEGOOD HMCs, Technoprops HMCs, Faceware HMCs, smartphones, and other camera systems, and fully supports DCC tools like Maya, 3ds Max, Blender, iClone, Unity, Unreal Engine, and more. Powered by AI automation, Avatary Studio delivers facial solving with the same level of accuracy as manual workflows and extends solving capabilities to high-precision scenarios, including non-human objects with customizable tracking templates.

Avatary Studio introduces two distinct solving modes to meet varying production demands:

• Artistic Control Mode: Animators can fine-tune expressions for precise, high-quality results tailored to custom styles;
• AI Automation Mode: For large-scale productions, this mode generates high-precision facial animations directly from performance videos, perfect for use cases like game NPCs.

While MetaHuman Animator can occasionally produce visually unappealing animations due to a lack of artistic control, Avatary Studio resolves these issues by providing advanced tools for fine-tuning and customization. This ensures improved animation fidelity and lifelike details, elevating the overall quality of animations created with MHA.

For large-scale projects, Avatary Studio's batch processing capabilities enable the simultaneous solving of hundreds of performance videos, reducing weeks of work to just minutes. Additionally, for clients with strict data security needs, FACEGOOD offers private deployment options, allowing full functionality on client-specific compute clusters.

Whether you're a startup, testing new workflows, or scaling up your production, FACEGOOD's P2 system and Avatary Studio can help you break traditional boundaries in animation production, providing you with the tools to focus on creativity and expression.
