If you haven’t tested with Cubic yet, here’s why you should:
Your customers expect quality in high volumes.
1Modern consumers of digital entertainment expect consistently high-quality, but facial animation done well is a very demanding production task. You need a scalable, affordable and proven solution to meet growing production demands.
Capture on its own isn’t an animation solution
2We’re the leaders in animation from capture (especially video), because we understand that capture alone is useless – turning capture into animation is the key. Make sure you get the best results from any data, with our technology and expertise.
Great animation doesn’t always need capture
3We also provide a revolutionary way to rapidly create large volumes of great animation (of the whole face, not just lip-sync) from your audio files. Produce top quality, fully expressive animation at unbelievable speed with no capture cost.
Facial Animation is the only thing we do
4Serving many of the world’s leading developers, we’re focused solely on facial animation. Our services and products are built by a dedicated scientific team who know that an interesting demo is not the same as a robust, scalable solution. We deliver results.
