Description:
This is your first encounter with your hostess of the synthetic world. She appears as a sexy jester, a symbol of joviality and fantasy. She reminds you that the virtual world caters to your spiritual and physical well-being. It is now your chance to decide which world you would like to enter…
The Jester was created using Pacific Title / Mirage’s propri-etary LifeF/X system. Based on a finite element description of the face, LifeF/X captures, recreates, and manipulates subtle facial movement from a live performance. Maya was used to add and animate the hat, and Renderman to output the final images.
