Heller was impressed with the lack of artifacts in Microsoft’s volumetric capture as well as the company’s compression technology. And with live capture, “you’re focused on directing an actor rather than a team of engineers or artists to build that performance, which can take months.” “If you just put game engine characters in there, the closer they get to reality, the creepier they get,” Grossmann said. “Both Christina and I come from the world of immersive production, and that world looks a lot more like a mad scientist’s laboratory than it does content creation and creativity,” said Magnopus co-founder and CEO Ben Grossmann, who won an Oscar for his work as a visual effects supervisor on 2011’s “Hugo.” “With Metastage, the technology has been vetted, so we don’t have to focus on being the Q laboratory from a James Bond movie.”Īpplications of volumetric capture - which allows a virtual camera (or viewer) to move around live performers at will - range from games and movie-like experiences to education and training.
Partners in Metastage include Magnopus, a production company that has created VR experiences for Disney/Pixar’s “Coco” and Warner Bros.’ “Blade Runner 2049.”
