Nimble logo
Hardware and software system developed by CGF Innovation *

Automates the process of creating facial animations for human, animal, anthropomorphic and fictional characters.

Nimble improves the production speed, quality, and realism of facial animation by capturing the subtle nuances of an actor's performance and then automatically transfers those nuances to the character.


NIMBLE — FACIAL MOCAP WITH ANIMATION TRANSFER
The technology includes two methods of capturing facial expressions. The first uses facial markers to ensure the most accurate transfer of the actor's emotions.

The second method avoids the use of markers, simplifying the process of capturing facial expressions, reducing labor costs and allowing you to visualize the animation of a 3D character in real time on set.
"Nimble" integrates with Maya, Unreal Engine, and Blender software ensuring efficiency and speed of the animation process.
The optional "Nimble LipSync" system allows generation of facial expressions of three-dimensional characters based on audio.

Ideal for creating talking characters, dialogue scenes in computer games, digital avatars and virtual assistants.
