Streamlined operator interface
Shepherd combines all the integral features a face capture operator needs in one innovative and thoughtful app. Giving you more time to focus on the things that really matter – like camera framing, talent performance and capture accuracy. With less to micromanage, Shepherd gives you the freedom to work faster and more effectively.
Body mocap integrations
Integrating with the industry’s leading Mocap Systems, Shepherd allows your body and face capture systems to be combined into one streamlined system. Now you can simultaneously trigger face capture with body capture, and ensure the continuity of capture names. Shepherd creates a more unified, succinct and automated motion capture process.
Capture multiple face systems with ease
An unlimited number of face recording devices can be added to Shepherd (including your witness cameras), giving you one modern interface to control recording, playback, see device info and health, timecode input, and view clips across all of your devices. Save both time and money while Shepherd works hard, and you work smart.
Media transfer and producer tools
With Shepherd, there’s no need to pull the hard drive from your digital recording device or access the built-in AJA web interface to transfer recorded clips. With a couple of clicks, you can transfer a single clip, multiple clips, or all the clips across all of your devices remotely. You can even create a handy document detailing clip information that can be used for review, editorial, or to support an existing Faceware Batch Pipeline.
Distinguishing Features of Shepherd
Mocap System Lync
Shepherd’s Mocap System Lync puts your body mocap system in control of Shepherd’s face capture system. Lync unifies your Vicon, Xsens or Optitrack System with your Faceware Headcams enabling unprecedented control of your mocap shoot. This is the mocap feature you didn’t know you were waiting for.
Smart Functionality
By combining the various functions associated with facial motion capture and centralizing them into a single application, Shepherd integrates the data and options you need most in one program.
