What Facial pass techniques do you use on R3D ?

[PatrickFaith]

why are you doing it that way ?
why not directly manipulate the motion capture head model ?
the actors will have to get make-uo etc if u shoot them when they come in for ADR plus they gotta hopefully act as good as they did in the take u chose for the edit, which is usually the best take out of a few...

Think more like the recent planet of the apes or hobbit, except that ALL the actors have xsen suites on and the skin/suites are clean plated out(i.e. there's no time in my current film where I directly use anyones skin). The problem with directly manipulating the motion capture head model, I find it's just lacking in creating emotional connection without tons of maya tweeking.
