I am beta testing a new technology of real-time 3d tracking (without trackpoints) called Faceshift. It uses depth cameras such as Microsoft's Kinect . The animation can be apply in real time to a 3D model or exported to software like Maya.

"Fiction 2" research

This image is a research, a step to my "Fiction 2" series. My idea at that time was to symbolize the nuclear disaster with Japanese toys (like Godzilla).
One could be surprised that this step is more complex that the final result. This approach is to the heart of my work, I try as much as possible to simplify to get the most primitive and pure form. That is in my opinion how 3D computer graphics expresses fully their specificities and becomes a subject of the piece.

Cette image est une recherche, une étape qui aboutira à ma série « Fiction 2 ». Mon idée à ce moment-là était de symboliser la catastrophe nucléaire par des jouets japonais (type Godzilla).
Certains pourront s’étonner que cette étape non retenue soit plus complexe que le résultat final. Cette démarche est pourtant au cœur de mon travail, j’essaie de simplifier un maximum pour arriver à une forme primitive, le plus pure possible. C’est ainsi à mon avis que les images de synthèse 3D expriment pleinement leurs spécificités et qu’elles deviennent un sujet de l’œuvre.
