At 2DNAC, we’re passionate about bridging the gap between the digital and the real world. Our latest project White Room, featuring two digital doubles of Dragan and Isidora, showcases what’s possible with a small team of talented artists in just three months. It typically takes one and a half months to complete the creation of a single character. This ambitious endeavor highlights our commitment to innovation and excellence in digital content creation. We excel at creating digital doubles, but the rest of the project was a new challenge for us. We aimed to demonstrate what can be achieved in three months, even though we had never tackled these aspects before. We approached the project fully aware of its complexity. Throughout this project, we encountered numerous unforeseen challenges, prompting us to modify our pipeline to better adapt to future projects.
The Vision and Collaboration
The vision behind this project was to demonstrate the potential of high-quality digital doubles within a short timeframe. We aimed to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with a limited team and resources, proving that extraordinary results are possible with the right expertise and collaboration.
To capture the intricate performances of our digital doubles, we partnered with Take One Studio. Their state-of-the-art motion capture technology was instrumental in bringing Dragan and Isidora’s digital counterparts to life. The precision and detail captured during these sessions allowed us to create highly realistic and expressive digital doubles. Learn more about Take One Studio’s groundbreaking work here.
Innovative Techniques
Creating lifelike digital doubles required the integration of various advanced techniques. One critical aspect was the simulation of clothing, which was handled by Sirius 3D Studio. Their assistance was invaluable in making the clothing for our digital doubles. Check out Sirius 3D Studio’s impressive portfolio here.
Our collaboration with Rapport – powered by Speech Graphics’ audio driven animation took the project to another level by incorporating AI-driven interactivity. They used their cutting-edge technology to make Isidora’s digital double capable of real-time conversations, you can read about the project here. This interactive feature allows users to engage with Isidora as if she were a real person. Rapport is releasing its self-service platform on July 1st you can sign up for the waiting list here to be the first to test it out. If you want to join their webinar, you can sign up here.

Project Execution
The execution of this project was a meticulous process that required careful planning and coordination. Our artists worked tirelessly, capturing every detail from the initial concept to the final rendering. This involved several stages, including motion capture, 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, and final VFX integration. Each stage was crucial in ensuring the high level of realism and quality that we aimed to achieve.
The motion capture sessions with Take One Studio were particularly critical, as they provided the foundational data needed to create lifelike animations. Following this, our team of 3D modelers and texture artists crafted the digital doubles, paying close attention to every detail to ensure they matched their real-life counterparts. Rigging and animation were then meticulously handled to bring these models to life, followed by VFX integration to blend them seamlessly into the final scenes.
Why This Project is Exceptional
This project stands out for several reasons. Firstly, it showcases the power of collaboration and what can be achieved when experts from different fields come together. The innovative use of motion capture, clothing simulation, and AI-driven interactivity highlights the cutting-edge technology and creativity that 2DNAC and our partners bring to the table.
Secondly, the project’s timeline and scope demonstrate our team’s efficiency and dedication. Achieving such high-quality results in just three months with a small group of artists is a testament to their skill and hard work. This project sets a new standard in the digital content creation industry, proving that exceptional results are possible even under tight constraints.
Lastly, the integration of interactive AI technology by Rapport opens new possibilities for how digital doubles can be used in various applications, from entertainment to customer engagement. This project not only showcases our capabilities but also hints at the future of digital content and interactive experiences.
Special Thanks
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Take One Studio, Rapport, and Sirius 3D Studio for their significant contributions to this project. Your expertise and collaboration were pivotal in bringing our vision to life in such a short time. We eagerly anticipate working together on upcoming projects.
