British actress Camilla Luddington has spilled the beans on the new motion capture technology that Crystal Dynamics will be implementing in its hotly anticipated sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider.
According to Luddington’s Twitter, the new tech is dubbed Mova, and tracks fluorescent paint sprayed onto an actor’s face, which allows for over 7,000 points of reference. By comparison, regular mo-cap affords only 90 points of reference.
The result? A “much more realistic capture,” says the Lara Croft actress, which means the upcoming action-adventure title will look even more “awesomely detailed” than its predecessor, 2013’s Tomb Raider.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is scheduled to ship for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One in Q4 2015.
