Kinect volumetric capture

In 2015 I held the title of “Kinect Supervisor” on a very pioneering and challenging movie called Perfect World.

We used multiple Microsoft Kinect to capture an animated point cloud of nearly every scene of the movie. For every shot 3 kinects were placed in different positions around the set and their output was later combined to create a full volumetric capture of the characters. Everything was also recorded using a traditional RED camera and its high resolution output was used to assign color information to the point cloud.

The system allowed us to give a unique look to the characters.
