Red9 ProPack : Animation Re-Director Update

We wanted to share this huge update to the Animation Re-Direction system in the Red9 ProPack. This new setup has been driven largely by the needs of one of our clients dealing with mass MoCap and needing to straighten out data shot in a tight volume, a really tough thing to do without a tool like this.

The new setup not only keeps all the power of the previous setups, allowing us to direct animations via curves, shaping animations, but also now un-wrap animation data.

As usual if anybody has any questions or is interested in talking about this or our ProPack pipeline drop us an email!

Delta Airlines – Safety Video Game

Client : Mi, Manchester
Project : Delta Safety Video Game

The project was for the latest in-flight video from Delta Airlines which is due to go onto all of their planes very shortly, the project also includes a HTML5 game! We were approached by MI in Manchester to do 6 facial rigs from scan data, 2 main hero rigs, the flight attendant and captain, plus 4 secondary rigs for the Chelsea footballers in the sequence. The flight attendant and the captain were scanned in LA, whilst we directed the facial scan sessions in London for the Chelsea players.

From the scan data we provided the facial models and the performance rig setup under huge time constraints but it was a blast!
Thanks to Mi and to Delta for their support!

Red9 Pro : Animation Format Part2 : TIMECODE:

This one is a huge deal for anybody doing performance capture and managing cutscenes. We embed timecode into the Maya rig allowing us to reload and re-build scenes from multiple r9Anim files by referencing a timecode pointer. This will even allow us to sync animation data based on the internal timecode of a piece of audio.
