Project overview · April 2022, LA
Hyper-Realistic Metahuman Creation
Completed full 3D scanning of TYGA in Los Angeles in April 2022. Coordinated US-China teams for modeling and rigging to create a production-ready digital human asset.
Beyond body scanning, the project completed full facial capture for 8 songs with detailed processing of every expression and nuance. The result is a digital avatar capable of delivering authentic performances indistinguishable from the real artist.
Currently bringing the entire scanning system to China, expanding the pipeline for additional artists and productions across the Asia-Pacific region.
Production pipeline
Process
