Delighted to finally be able to announce our involvement in Amazon’s new free-to-play action shooter “Crucible” released last month. Red9’s been involved in the project from the very beginning, providing some of the key tools used for character development. Initially we were tasked to supply rigging solutions but that quickly grew into custom toolsets to […]
Delighted to be able to release this new demo of our Red9 TalkBack Facial Lip-Syncing service, taking raw audio data and mapping it to accurate facial motion. This has been in development for over 5 years now and with each new project we pass through the systems, the articulation and calibrations get better and better. […]
The Animation Re-Targeter (Pro_to_BND ) is a huge part of the Red9 ProPack pipelines and workflows. Designed over the last 5 years to offer clients the ability to remap, on mass, any animation library to a fresh rig and bounce that data over to various formats. If you’re working with us all our Red9 PuppetRigs […]
Red9 ProPack: RigManager – Unreal ART Rig support Delighted to be able to go through the new integrated hooks we’ve added to Red9 ProPack to natively support the Unreal ART Rig. This arose out of a conversation with Jeremy Ernst and Brad Clark wanting animation mirroring working on the Art Rig, but quickly turned into […]
Animation Re-Director, now with Interactive Live Mode! We also demo the ultimate goal, Quadruped re-direction This is a quick demo that goes through the new “MakeLive” interactive mode within the Animation Re-Director tool of ProPack. This is a massive workflow improvement, making the system interactive, allowing things like a simple walk cycle to be turned […]
Complex Production Timecode Tamed! Ever wondered how a massive production like Cloud Imperium Game’s Squadron 42 deals with the physical amount of performance capture data. How do you manage the sync of separate animation and audio files over multiple shoots, syncing data of headcam footage with audio trimmed and edited into smaller game clips? This […]
This is the final missing link from ProPack, a system to enable you to bind ANY rig, both BODY and FACIAL, to our Red9 ProMetaData systems. This shows you how easy it is to marker up your rig to behave as a native PuppetRig as far as the tools are concerned, exposing the full power […]
This is a very quick demo to show just how far the solvers inside the Red9 PuppetRig can be pushed with some insane MoCap data. PuppetRig includes auto-solvers for pole-vector tracking, auto-clavicle solving as well as softIK systems and this video shows just how well they deal with even the most complex data. As you’d […]
In this demo we go through our new Project Handlers, expose newly upgraded Perforce Integration and go through our r9File class object for all TDs out there wanting an easy life. This is a hugely important concept for anybody running ProPack, especially within a large studio environment, if you’ve got a demo build of ProPack […]
This is a huge update to the way that our Red9 ProPack deals with IKFK matching in rig systems. Big new features including : Spine FK-IK matching via a new iterative algorithm which produces a really close match. This is a huge deal for animators going between MotionBuilder and Maya as we can now […]
