Very interesting facial rigging technique!
Could you maybe provide a short breakdown of the facial rig and what you mean by 'two deformation system' ?
Are the joints with the follicles bound to the skin geo (and only ? moved by the nurbs surface) or is their movement blended somehow ? Does every vertex have it's own joint?
cheers,
Timm
Thank you! Yes, the face rigging was quite complex. I just gave a brief overview in this making-of. It sounds like you have it correctly. The nurbs surface does the larger movements, like the jaw opening/closing, and cheeks bulging when making a smile. The head geo is skinned to joints that are distributed over the nurbs surface. Then the wrinkles are added through poly blend shapes that are triggered by how much the surface stretches.
I would recommend having a look at the following link, where Paul Smith goes into greater detail about the technique.

Its a bit confusing, but I hope that answers your question.
Posted on ceiga.co.uk/blog/
I'm very curious about the photsynth process, will look it up. Could you explain it some more?
I made another video that goes into the process of cheap 3D scanning a bit more.

If you havent seen it already, this shows the process in a much more detailed way. There are also a few links that point to some free tools.
Hope that helps!
Cheers.
Was wondering how you got the IK/FK legs? Because it looks like you have them together, at the same time, and don't have to blend or switch between them?
Would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction for that (thanks for the very descriptive credits too).
