Virtual Ventures, founded in 1991, is a strategic marketing company focused on advanced 3D character animation production solutions. The company has worked on a variety of intensive 3D character animation projects for a wide ranging, impressive list of clients.

Los Angeles based Virtual Ventures is currently introducing two breakthrough production methods to the US marketplace of 3D content creators. Leaders in the Game Development, Visual Effects Production, and 3D Animation fields benefit greatly from solutions provided by Virtual Ventures.

Virtual Ventures represents Oxford UK-based NaturalMotion, and endorphin, their remarkable software that harnesses the power of Dynamic Motion Synthesis. Through the use of endorphin, the 3D animator’s creative palette is greatly expanded. Traditionally expensive and complex keyframe techniques, or moves too dangerous or impossible to execute with motion capture are now easily attainable with endorphin. Production cost curves for the normally tedious and expensive processes, of generating 3D human body motion data assets can be redefined and made more affordable with this bold new approach.

To provide a new solution for 3D Facial Animation, Virtual Ventures now represents Manchester UK-based Image Metrics. Their performance driven 3D facial animation production services solution uses a single video camera, and requires no markers on the performer’s face. Image metrics brings simplicity to the process of facial performance animation. Many leading game developers and filmmakers are just beginning to use this process in their most important titles.
