Congratulations to all our friends at Dambuster Studios for some epic work on Dead Island 2. I’m sure you are all aware that the official trailer’s were revealed at Gamescom this week and look fabulous.
Red9 were brought in on a consultancy basis a few years back to help setup the facial rig systems for the lead characters so it’s lovely to see the work finally in the public domain. Looking forward to getting our hands on a copy next year.
This is a huge release for the Red9 ProPack, focusing on speed and data integrity, two key points to any modern pipeline.
r9Anim our custom animation format now fully supports the saving and loading of data to and from animLayers, as well as getting a significant speed boost. The new build includes a frame sampler to deal with constrained data. This also gives faster merging of animLayers under the hood on save, something that was an issue in previous versions.
Our SkinSaver system has also been rewritten from the ground up giving a 10 fold speed increase in the loading of complex data. We’ve also added more features and debugging.
On top of these base formats we’ve added functionality to some of the PuppetRig toolsets including our hand interaction system “wrist locks” and changes to the IKFK solving systems.
Finally if you’re needing to remap MoCap data via HIK then we’ve just made that process far easier, allowing the likes of XSENS data to be remapped in 1 go.
Red9 ProPack is gaining more and more traction amongst a wide variety of studios. Sometimes it’s easier, faster and more reliable to integrate a pre-existing solution into workflows than it is to start from the beginning, re-inventing a wheel that we’ve been finessing for the last 10years.
Red9 ProPack is available on subscription in the ProPack tab.
Another great title that we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating on, focusing on rigging and supporting the animation team. A Massive congratulations to all involved on winning the Best VR/AR Game at The Game Awards 2021!
