Publication number: 20230326142Abstract: An immersive content presentation system and techniques that can detect and correct lighting artifacts caused by movements of one or more taking camera in a performance area consisting of multiple displays (e.g., LED or LCD displays). The techniques include capturing, with a camera, a plurality of images of a performer performing in a performance area at least partially surrounded by one or more displays presenting images of a virtual environment. Where the images of the virtual environment within a frustum of the camera are updated on the one or more displays based on movement of the camera, and images of the virtual environment outside of the frustum of the camera are not updated based on movement of the camera. The techniques further include generating content based on the plurality of captured images.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: LUCASFILM ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LTD.

Patent number: 9858700Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for transferring changes in animation data between geometric models of a character having different resolutions. For example, systems and techniques are provided for transferring changes in geometric properties between the geometric models. A method may include obtaining a first geometric model of the character and a second geometric model of the character, the geometric models having different resolutions with different numbers of data points. The method may further include determining one or more correspondences between data points of the first geometric model and data points of the second geometric model. The correspondences include one or more data points of the first geometric model that overlap with one or more data points of the second geometric model.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: LUCASFILM ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LTD.Inventors: Rachel Rose, Yuting Ye, Scott Jones

Patent number: 9508179Abstract: A method of generating an animation rig for a three-dimensional (3-D) computing environment may include providing a rig generation environment that includes a library storing a plurality of blocks. Each of the plurality of blocks may represent particular rig elements and include information for generating the rig elements in the 3-D computing environment along with a first icon that is visually representative of the particular rig elements. The method may also include receiving and displaying two or more blocks in the rig generation environment, and receiving one or more graphical connections between the blocks. The method may additionally include generating the animation rig using the information of each of the two or more blocks and sending the animation rig from the rig generation environment to the 3-D computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: LUCASFILM ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LTD.Inventors: Michael Justin Lee Jutan, Rachel Rose, Darby Johnston

Patent number: 9508178Abstract: A method of generating an animation rig for a 3-D computing environment may include accessing a plurality of blocks, each representing a particular rig element, and including interfaces that govern interactions with other rig elements and information for generating a portion of the animation rig corresponding to the particular rig element represented by the block. The method may also include receiving a selection of a first block that includes a first interface and first information and represents a first rig element, and receiving a selection of a second block that includes a second interface and second information and represents a second rig element. The method may additionally include receiving an instruction to connect the first interface to the second interface, generating the animation rig using the first information and the second information, and providing the animation rig to the 3-D computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2013Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: LUCASFILM ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY LTD.Inventors: Michael Justin Lee Jutan, Rachel Rose, John Doublestein
