Demonstration Earlier this year, Wild Capture introduced its Digital Human Platform, which features the Cohort crowd-building and digital fashion tool that blends volumetric video, AI, and USD technologies to capture a lifelike live human performance.

In a Wild Capture demonstration created in collaboration with Metastage specifically for the VES event, Wilfred Driscoll, Wild Capture CEO, and Louis Normandin, Wild Capture COO, will show how captured data of a single male and single female performance can be translated into different crowd actors with varying clothing/hair/props and secondary animation that can also scale to a complete crowd kit. The presentation will also highlight versatile techniques and practices for a wide variety of users producers, on-set supervisors, artists/generalists, and technical directors focusing on cameras, lighting, and how to work with the captured data to deliver high-quality digital human assets for VFX pipelines.

With the promise of easy-to-use volumetric assets that deliver lifelike realism for high-demand VFX pipelines, event attendees will be able to see the time-saving and economic advantages of working with volumetric characters.
