My mind went towards stuntmen. Now, studios can record natural actions for a large database of actions, and pick and choose. Instead of the Wilhelm Scream, you could see "Flip #564" and "Crash #827". If it doesn't even matter what shape the stuntman is, it seems to me like the industry might be looking to fill that occupation less and less.
- CyberDildonics 5y agoThere have already been CG stunts for multiple decades. You still have to match the lighting of the photography to integrate the CG even if you have something like this captured with flat texture maps. The fidelity is also a big issue, flat textures and rough normals are not going to hold up to much scrutiny.

- CyberDildonics 5y agoWhat do you mean by "dynamic relighting"? I'm saying that even a flat texture captured mesh+video texture like this has to be lit to each shot it is placed in. That means it is being 're-lit' and any process that does that would be usable for regular CG. Also again, the BRDF/normals of a capture like this are going to be very course. Cloth, skin, hair, eyes, metallic bits etc aren't going to look right if they have too much screen space over time. Quick motion blurred action might be applicable and I could see similar techniques being useful for crowds.
