Today on the befores & afters podcast, we’re chatting to Digital Domain CTO Hanno Basse about DD’s in-house facial capture tool, Masquerade3. It’s the latest incarnation of the tool, and now features markerless facial capture. This essentially means no need to place physical markers via make-up on the performers’ faces. With Hanno, we talk about the evolution of Masquerade, in particular where machine learning has come into play in making that tool possible.

Check out the podcast below, and some showcase images of the Masquerade3 tech.
