Itโs been a lot of hard work, and today we are excited to share a new ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฃ tech update! ๐ฅ
SKAP can now handle an arbitrary number of FACS. For every expression, it generates automatically a dedicated high-quality displacement set in 16k โ Grayscale Displacement, Multi-channel Displacement, and Cavity โ all perfectly aligned and fully consistent across the entire dataset.
This level of stability across large FACS libraries can be a real game changer for studios working with scan data. It provides reliable detail extraction per input FACS map/geo, predictable results, and a much cleaner pipeline when managing extensive expression sets.
In this demo, youโll see three static FACS in action โ no 4D, no image sequence, no OBJ sequence. Just three blendshapes with their corresponding displacement maps driving the animation.
The scans are provided by the fantastic team at @clearanglestudios , courtesy of them. ๐ค
Weโre also getting close to Phase 2, where weโll start gradually onboarding everyone on the waitlist who completed the beta form, giving them access to the platform and the ability to process their assets online. ๐

Silver.
"Hello, anyone there? Iโve been away for a while, so this is my first piece after a long break. To be honest, it didnโt start out well, and for a while I didnโt think I would finish it. I went in circles with my concept and almost gave up, but Miguel kept encouraging me to keep going. There are still plenty of flaws, and I wish it was better, but Iโm glad I finished something. My original idea was much more colorful and vibrant, but after a lot of back and forth, I ended up here. Big thanks to Miguel and Krystal for their feedback and support."

Cafรฉ Portrait.
"This project is based on a concept by Pavel Hristov.
I recreated and interpreted the character in 3D, focusing on realistic lighting and shading."

Lee byung-hun [Likeness].
"Hi. I am excited to present a portrait of Lee Byung-hun from the Netflix show Squid Game, created as part of my study of likeness.
Sculpted in ZBrush, grooming was done using XGen. Textures were created with TexturingXYZ, and the final render was completed in Arnold. If you enjoy this work, feel free to leave a like."

Scarlett Johansson.
"This piece is a revisit of the first likeness I ever attempted back in 2017, when I was just starting out in 3D. Coming back to it now felt like a nice way to reflect on how much has changed over the years and how much Iโve learned along the way. Iโve been really lucky with the career Iโve had so far and the projects Iโve been able to work on.
It was also my first proper attempt at a hair groom in Houdini. Thereโs definitely a lot more to learn and improve, but Iโm relatively happy with the result and itโs been a good learning experience overall.
I hope you like it and thank you for all the support throughout the years!"

Maxillosaurus.
"This creature is a chimera inspired by several predators from the Jurassic Park/World franchise.
I took inspiration from the Buck, Doe and Junior T.Rex from The Lost World to make this happy family.
Hope you like it!"

Napoleon Bonaparte Digital Reconstruction.
"Napoleon died 5 years before the invention of the camera.
So how did he really look?
We actually have photos of his brother and illegitimate son that you can see on the internet. Yes we have a lot of portraits of Napoleon, but upon first look, they dont have that much in common with each other."

Colin Farrell (UE5, real-time).
"Hi everyone, this is my take on Colin Farrell likeness (2000s) and the result of a real-time study. My goal was to achieve a quality level similar to offline renders within a real-time environment, while focusing on optimization.
I followed Sefki Ibrahim's course, which helped me immensely in gaining confidence with UE5. This was also my first project where I created base textures using photogrammetry photoshoot kindly provided by the Triplegangers team. Starting with only the albedo information, I processed it to generate displacement and normal maps. After establishing this texture base, I've filled the gaps with texturingxyz data and I added a manual painting pass to better capture the specific facial features of the likeness.
The character is fully rendered in UE5. I used ZBrush for sculpting, Houdini and GroomBear for the grooming, and ZWrap for the detail transfer and topology wrapping. The clothing was created in Marvelous Designer and textured in Substance Painter."
