ABSTRACT
Digital humans and digital doubles are core products at Goodbye Kansas Studios and in order to further improve their quality and related workflows, a number of new tools have been developed and integrated into our existing pipeline.
This talk will cover some of these implementations, such as an offline generation of blendshapes based on facial scans, our take on the sticky lips problem and an efficient implementation of render time dynamic skin microstructure. Furthermore, we look into future usages and how Universal Scene Description (USD) [Pixar Animation Studios 2021] can serve as a helpful tool for facial rigs.
