Camilla Luddington tweeted a picture of her face covered in fluorescent paint, which gives roughly 7000 points of reference for the in game character model. This process/innovation is called Mova. Normal mocap gives you about 90 POR.

On mobile, can't copy tweets.

Interested to see how the final game looks and if other studios will use Mova.

Mod edit:
Yes, we know you want to make a hilarious immature joke. Restrain yourself, please.

icespide · Aug 7, 2014

will they be clean or dirty faces?

Praise the Lorde · Aug 7, 2014

Sweet. Excited for this game. Loved TR2013.

rawd · Aug 7, 2014

I read that as feces

YuriLowell · Aug 7, 2014

Will they capture her whole body?

ElectricBlanketFire · Aug 7, 2014

Tomb Raider: Cosmic Bowling

Marvel · Aug 7, 2014

Rollers for painting sure are messy.

Kor of Memory · Aug 7, 2014

Has this tech been used before in any videogames? Do we have a point of reference.

Broadbandito · Aug 7, 2014

Can't fucking wait. TR2013 was phenomenal

Silky · Aug 7, 2014

If Lara's face was as bad in TR: Definitive then I have no hope for Rise of the Tomb Raider in regards to the face textures

TR'13 Lara's face was better in the way debris/dirt/blood was applied to her face textures in comparison to Definitive.

she was also cuter but that's subjective

TR'13 Lara's face was much more cuter.

Wut

t0rment · Aug 7, 2014

i didn't know they would copy camilla's face for this one. best lara face ever then.

Kyo645 · Aug 7, 2014

Lara Croft to become Na'vi confirmed!

Pretty excited to see this game in action.

spirity · Aug 7, 2014

Thats pretty cool. Though jumping from 90 to 7000 seems a bit unnecessary to me, but what do I know.

ResidentDante · Aug 7, 2014

Really cool tech, can't wait for the game!

Acquiescence · Aug 7, 2014

Everything looks better when it's covered in fluorescent paint.

hohoXD123 · Aug 7, 2014

Is this the first game to use it? Are there any examples showing the difference it makes?

sn00zer · Aug 7, 2014

That kind of insane....its been used a few times in movies, havent seen it in games though

Pretty much. Camilla is a 10.

From 90 to 7000??

GODDAMN!

Look I really like the TressFX additions and some of the eye animations/facial animations but the new textures for Lara's face seem really off especially when you put debris in the situation.

-MD- · Aug 7, 2014

Hope this game ends up being better than the reboot.

Less gallery shooter, more survival and tomb raiding

Certinty · Aug 7, 2014

That's pretty insane.

Absolutely loved the first game, can't wait for this one.

synce · Aug 7, 2014

Hype! I wasn't a fan of Lara's face in the first one... it looked kinda botox-y, and the PS4 version looked almost alien like

You have never seen faces this dirty.

BadWolf · Aug 7, 2014

Very interesting, looking forward to the results.

Kayhan · Aug 7, 2014

Cool

Slowdive · Aug 7, 2014

Whoa, looking forward to seeing it.

whiteninja · Aug 7, 2014

Looks like those pics they do to show how sun damaged skin is.

Wishmaster92 · Aug 7, 2014

Hopefully they show something soon.

Vulcano's assistant · Aug 7, 2014

There must be lots of close ups in the cutscenes.

This.

100 million dollar buffet confirmed.

Sephzilla · Aug 7, 2014

That's nice, but will the story be good this time?

SolidSnakex · Aug 7, 2014

Looking around it seems that it's specifically for capturing facial animation. Which is risky since you could end up with something like LA Noire where there was a disconnect between the facial animation and body since they're captured separately.

Admiral Woofington · Aug 7, 2014

Rise of the tomb raider?

Deshi Deshi Lara lara!

The only camera angle in the game will be like having a go-pro strapped to her head, pointed at her face, all the time.

HeisenbergLannister · Aug 7, 2014

Can't wait for 178 different close ups of these new "realistic" faces while Lara hangs off broken buildings as more and more of them collapse around her as she tries to hold on.

Shin-Ra · Aug 7, 2014

The 'capture' part may be greatly improved, but I don't have much faith in the 'performance'.

This tech is used in Hollywood for creation of ultra high realistic 3D models of actors. I don't know if this can be used for motion tracking. I heard it is used only for creation of fixed models.

statham · Aug 7, 2014

I like, I like, I like.

GuitarAtomik · Aug 7, 2014

Oh man. Can't wait to se the results.

jett · Aug 7, 2014

This surely will provide maximum desire of protection.

dreamfall · Aug 7, 2014

Just want to see more! I hope the face tech is absolutely stunning. Just ran through the Definitive Edition again- I just hope it has less combat this go around!

As the news here is specifically in regard to motion capture, these sound like two different things. Mova has been used for animation, in the past.

It just needs to be serviceable, really.

Mova has seemingly been around for several years and it's meant for mocap.

edit: John Carter used the tech.

nath999 · Aug 7, 2014

Didn't see it posted yet.

Honestly If I didn't know that was rendered I would of thought it was a real person.

Rise of the Tomb Raider will have very realistic faces.
