BBC Click’s Marc Cieslak visited our studio in Toronto to find out more about Watch Dogs Legion’s version of London, and along the way he gets 3D scanned so he can conduct the interview inside the virtual version of London. The full video shows a little bit of behind-the-scenes revealing how my team builds characters for the game, our 3D scanners, and our motion capture studio.
Check out the interview on the BBC’s website.
A behind the scenes look at how we brought the Stone Age to life on Far Cry Primal. Through the video you get a look at the creation of the primitive language of the tribes, movement and vocal coaching, and our performance capture studio at Ubisoft Toronto.
There's an article on fxguide about how we created the characters for Far Cry 3. I did an interview with them and we talked about topics covered in the Autodesk 3December 2012 event, and some more behind the scenes of the game, as well as more in depth look at the motion capture process. It also covers extra topics from Marc Beaudoin’s GDC talk about “Enhancing Performance Capture”. Great in depth look at characters and animation on Far Cry 3.

At GDC 2012 Marc Beaudoin, one or our talented technical directors from our Mocap Studio, gave a talk about Enhancing Performance Capture on Far Cry 3 with Autodesk Motion Builder. In the middle there are some slides I made about facial animation and you can see the facial retargeting and animation I did on one of our characters using Ubisoft's internally developed facial animation software, followed by a comparison video after an animator has done a final polish pass over it in Motion Builder. Very cool stuff. Enjoy!
