It's been a big year for facial animation. L.A. Noire brought character realism to the forefront of the industry and raised the bar for video games as a storytelling medium. But Team Bondi's new approach offered no silver bullet for most character animators. The game is built around a new technology that while impressive, is not flexible, scalable, or affordable enough to impact the industry as a whole. Facial animation is regrettably as stubborn of a problem as it ever was.

OC3 Entertainment will be at Siggraph 2011 in Vancouver. Booth #869. Please swing by and check out the latest developments on FaceFX 2012!
