Facial Motion Capture for Naughty Sandbox 2
The characters for NS2 have been completely overhauled, with a major part of the upgrade being a custom facial motion-capture system.
This isn't implemented in the prototype builds in a big way just yet, but it's gonna be used for emotion reactions + lip sync for vocalizations and voiced dialogue reactions later.
The clip above shows a playback demo of some recorded mocap-data from a basic webcam, and applied to her face.
As the virtual character performs the motion captured facial animation, she can also layer in dynamic behavior like blinks, glances, and the ability to look at the camera / player, for a much more engaging experience.
