Morphing Characters In Real-life Footage

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

If you have used Poser or Make Human you must have been bewildered by the power of expressiveness they provide. Just by moving a few sliders you can morph your model into a completely new character. (For those who are not 3D enthusiasts; modelling the changes manually would take hours instead of seconds)

Well, MovieReshape does the same thing on real-life footage. You can morph flesh-and-bone actors in-motion. Watch the video below and pay close attention to how it fits a mesh on the model.

Here is the paper from Max Planck Institute. And if you want to play with 3D morphing I suggest you try Make Human (open source).
