Digimation announced the availability of FaceStation 2, the latest version of the video-based 3D facial animation software. Actual facial expressions are analyzed in real-time, captured and used to animate fully shaded 3D models with no motion capture hardware, facial markers or offline rendering processes required. FaceStation 2 also includes Avatar Editor, allowing the creation of ready-to-animate characters complete with morph targets using front and side photographs. Visit Digimation.com for more information and to see some sample animations created with FaceStation.
