Description:


    An old actress (who has never existed) reminisces in her dressing room as she prepares for the stage. For the first time, a convincingly realistic computer-generated human face (in extreme closeup) is brought to life, set in standard dramatic context. The face was created using the finite-element-based LifeFX facial modeling, animation, and performance-capture system, which dynamically simulates complex skin deformation, including fine wrinkling. Artistic control over facial performance, shape, and skin properties allows LifeFX to be used for digital makeup effects. In this example, an aged impression of a real 26-year-old actress has been created.
