Texture Replacement Technology: The Moviemakers are happy
Okay so we’ve seen some wonders happening with technology, and tech has all but made life simpler and simpler for the movie-makers. Looks like they’re in for some more good surprises though. What we have here is a unique technology by computer graphics researchers Volker Scholz and Marcus Magnor designed to enable you to swap out textures on clothing. Hold on. It’s not technically as easy as it sounds. The texture replacement technology uses a complex algorithm which encodes the coordinates of textures in a sampled video sequence, then replaces them with a new texture map, complete with shadows and all the fabric folds. Sounds tough already eh? I’m sure the moviemakers don’t mind. It just makes their lives a whole lot easier, and well camouflaging would be at it’s best too.
