I'm also one who believes story and characters are THE MOST important aspects in a game, and they're precisely what get me invested and unwilling to drop. but I also know of many people who don't like/ don't care about it and either don't go anywhere near games with too much story or just skip it when it comes up altogether.. So there's all kinds of players out there I guess

But one person playing a hole bunch of stuff is a good actor. If 'actors' can only play basically themselves, then they're not actors. This so called appropriate wthnic casting is an incongruence with what acting is.

Нил сказал очень мудрую вещь по поводу счастливых случайностей во время работы с живыми актёрами вместо ИИ! Спасибо за интервью :)

WOW 😮

Last time I got a glimpse into this technology was when Avatar was made, dang it has evolved so much! I also only clicked because of Neil 😂

1:50 that face 💀

I'm simple, I see Neil, I click. Great advocate for his field. Well spoken and passionate. Looking forward to many games with him.

"Master wide and closeup simultaneously." What a great way of describing it! I am keeping that one.

Double: it's a short of- Me: Neil Newbon on 3d ❤🥹

This is so cool. The advances in the tech have come so far. His face was captured perfectly. I have seen footage from behind the scenes. It really is a true likeness. The minute details. The subtle nuances. Very close to life. There is still something inorganic about the whole thing though. A stiffness. A coldness. It captures life. It doesn't exude life. Just something on the periphery that doesn't register mentally. I can't wait to see the future leaps and bounds this tech will present to the world. Well done.

Neil ❤

Kudos to the editor(s) of this video, the animation and "behind the scene" bits matched what Neil was saying not only in content but also in mood. Like the last clip shown, matched the postive and emotional tone of what he discussed; of course the music helped too. (I hope what I said made sense)

He is 100% right about character narrative being essential to a game. BG3 is the first video game I have ever finished (and I have done so now multiple times) because I just cared so much about the world, and had to see where the story and the characters in it went. The actors and writers made such a difference, with the development team behind them making it all feel so real, so immersive, so important. Love to see it, and hope to see more!

The entire cast deserves all the success and recognition in the world, they were simply stellar in BG3.

Neil and Noel have a similar name and they're pur daddy

I love how passionate he is about his work, he’s also an amazing person in general. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

These types of interviews perfectly highlight why Neil Newbon is an incredible actor and performer. He GETS it. He's passionate and he understands the craft. So interesting!!!

Cool but it's giving uncanny valley

I wish I were younger! I would do everything differently, maybe even similarly to Neil, because I would love this work! I write invoices for a construction company, it's not exciting, but I like numbers too 🤑 (I'm nearly 60 years, played BG3 6-7 times, from Germany)

what he says about the usage of AI is so brilliant and well said! loved this discussion ❤ thanks for sharing!

4:16 I think Neil just described why I drop as many games as I do. And why, in contrast, I stuck with BG3 despite the steep learning curve for a beginner who never even touched D&D before.

Neil is always so articulate and sensitive and a real pleasure to listen to.

He is like the teacher that every teacher wants to be.

Neil is the reason why i havent given up on my tattoo career or my art

i remember getting interested in how mocapping when DBH was out. and it's so very interesting to listen to neil explain it as well.

This is why I follow Neil’s work. The key is truly creating a tight bond between narrative and the gameplay. It pushes the audiences to do it just to find out more, and you become the protagonist of it all. Animating is such a precious and creative field, I wish I could be a part of it once I’ll start studying for it this year

neil is the reason i got interested in acting

Oh how it must feel to be able to do something as a job that you truly love. Please never tire of acting or teaching Neil.

He's so passionate when he talks about his craft. I really enjoy listening to him.

Absolutely love when Neil talks about his work so passionately. He's such an amazing and skilled human bean <3 So happy I'm able to support him, even if it's just a little bit. For me, having been into games since I was very young, the older I got, the more I needed to like the story of a game. But especially the characters. If I have a favourite character I can latch onto, I will enjoy the game a 1000x times more. (The only reason I played bg3, was because I kept seeing that pretty white haired elf. Turned out I would obliterate the whole of Faerun to keep my short king safe and happy xD)

i needa course on this

I know we're likely never going to achieve an escape from the uncanny valley. But man. It is so cool to just watch artists chasing after that goal. The fun is in the chase, not the catch. That's how it is for me anyway.

I feel like the facial mocap really outshone the full body mocap, because the wide shots looked cg to me, but the close ups were incredible!

I’m just here for Neil tbh

Phenomenal. I've been chasing "4D' facial capture for some time now. Even tried to be on a Beta Team. Are you looking for Beta Testers?!

Awesome to see Neil Newbon. I will follow this man's career to my grave.

Can you make full tutorial about that

Damn. Congratulations! This is ridiculous. Any chance to see that SIGGRAPH stuff online?

This is absolutely impressive, especially with the dynamic textures

Timeless and real, exaktly. Now let this man play Astarion for ever. ❤️

This looks INSANE

This is amazing

Hi Neil 😂

**просто нажимает на все видео, где есть нил**

i really like the music

I love this so much :D

Amazing

Twirling my hair

dope video broddy .... how much does it cost to scan yourself you know with normal-map-roughness-albedo-occlusion-specular maps....

As a certain squid once said: FUTURE! 🎉. This is so awesome to see behind the scenes and final work side by side like this. I love it.
