EBS’s new YouTube content, “David Bong”, is a groundbreaking variety show that follows the journey of an aspiring singer as he strives to debut as a virtual artist. In this project, YanusSTUDIO provided state-of-the-art facial motion capture technology to bring the character’s lively expressions and emotional nuances to life, enabling more natural and authentic performances.
Why YanusSTUDIO Facial Motion Capture Was Chosen
Integration of Full-Body Motion Capture with Xsens and ManusYanusSTUDIO is fully compatible with Xsens and Manus systems, allowing the seamless integration of full-body and facial motion capture data. This enables the capture of both complete body movements and intricate facial expressions simultaneously, greatly enhancing production efficiency and precision.
Application of Secondary FiltersOur innovative secondary filter technology overcomes challenges—such as the potential omission of mouth movements during face tracking—while ensuring smooth eye motion capture. This allows even the subtlest changes in expression to be captured with precision.
Remote Control FunctionalityBy leveraging streaming capabilities, our system transmits real-time recording start signals. This ensures that the YanusSTUDIO system receives the signal and initiates synchronized capture, maintaining consistent timing throughout the shooting process.
Profile Creation and Real-Time AdjustmentsPrecise synchronization between the actor and the virtual character is essential. Using YanusSTUDIO’s Character tab, real-time data monitoring and swift adjustments drastically reduce repetitive setup time during calibration.
Real-Time Streaming & OBS SupportIntegration with Unreal Engine allows for immediate monitoring of the character’s expressions on set, enabling on-the-fly tweaks. With OBS support, our solution is also compatible with various devices, including iPhones, enhancing flexibility in production.
Looking Ahead
The success of the “David Bong” project demonstrates YanusSTUDIO’s capability to enhance virtual characters’ emotional expression and performance. Moving forward, we are excited to lead the way in innovative content creation—ranging from animation and metaverse experiences to virtual idols—by leveraging our cutting-edge facial and full-body motion capture technologies.
