WildCapture

Wild Capture is a digital human technology studio specializing in volumetric video performance capture and the creation of realistic digital humans. The company's core product is the Digital Human Platform (DHP), which includes tools like Unify Solver and Cohort Crowd. Unify Solver restructures volumetric capture data into a single point-deformed mesh, reducing file sizes by 90% while improving video texture clarity. This technology automates standard 3D animation tasks, eliminating the need for body rigs and extensive motion capture clean-up. Cohort Crowd, another key component, enables the creation of custom character variants and optimizes scaled volumetric character rendering for crowd scenes.

Wild Capture's technology integrates volumetric video with AI and Universal Scene Description (USD) to capture lifelike human performances. The company's solutions are designed to simplify workflows and significantly reduce 3D data sets for digital crowds, customized fashion, and other applications requiring boundaries. In March 2023, Wild Capture joined NVIDIA Inception, a program supporting startups in technology advancement. This collaboration aims to expedite the development of superior digital human technologies and leverage the NVIDIA Omniverse platform.

In January 2024, Wild Capture partnered with HAND (Human & Digital) to implement a digital rights system within its Digital Human Platform. This integration assigns interoperable, persistent IDs to talent at the time of capture, based on standards managed by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Foundation. This system aims to establish a straightforward digital rights management workflow for volumetric video captures, automating talent identification and addressing name, image, and likeness rights.
