A Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty cinematic lead endured a "personal nightmare" bringing Idris Elba to life because of his "very specific eyebrows" – "how he moves them is amazing"
I'd like to think it was worth it

One of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earlier trailers for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion dazzled in part because it featured a rather realistic-looking Idris Elba, and thank goodness for that. One 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red cin🍌ematic lead has revealed 🐻that recreating Elba's "very specific eyebrows" was his "personal nightmare."
Cinematic animation acting lead David Cordero Iglesias is one of few CDPR staffer🐈s doing the rounds at GDC this year to share some industry wisdom, holding a talk dubbed "'Hacking' the Secrets of Its Cinematic Animation."
There, Iglesias shares that bringing the likes of Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba to life as Johnny Silverhand and Solomon Reed was tricky – Elba꧋ eღspecially so, as CDPR was not leaning on facial capture for his facial expressions.
"There are special cases, where we have customary pieces that are actually based on real actors, such as Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand or Idris Elba as Solomon Reed," he says. "For Idris Elba, he has such specific facial expressions, and we were not doing facial capture. This involved analyzing his expressions, th♉e way that he moves his face.
"This is in collaboration with lots of departments – model, reading, even texturing, to act𝕴ually try to match as much as possible his characteristiꦛc expressions in different stages of his life, and analyzing what we need – do we need to add more range on the eyebrows? We definitely needed that. That was my personal nightmare. Idris Elba has very specific eyebrows, right? He has this snake shape, or how he moves them is amazing. It was difficult to convey."
Thankfully, it was all worth it. Our 澳洲幸𓆏运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom🃏 Liberty review gives the DLC a near-perfect score, calling it "the culmination of CD Projekt𝓰 Red's efforts" – endeavors to master perfect eyebrows included.
