Sync Facial Capture to Blade or Shogun with Faceware’s Shepherd Software
Introducing Faceware Shepherd for Vicon users, a new software product that gives motion capture operators using both Faceware and Vicon Blade or Shogun the ability to control recording and playback of multiple facial video recording devices simultaneously.
Shepherd instantly simplifies any body and face motion capture shoot by eliminating the need to manually track take numbers, file names, and recording times. Shepherd also provides valuable tools for producers, like the ability to easily transfer clips from facial recording devices, as well as export a detailed list of recorded clips for review and editorial. Motion capture operators can streamline production with Shepherd’s “Mocap Trigger” feature which enables Shepherd to start and stop facial recording when Blade or Shogun starts and stops recording.
Shepherd is due to officially launch in the first half of 2019. Clients who are interested in a trial version of Shepherd and want to participate in the Open Beta can contact [email protected]
