Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Facial Scanning Pipeline for Ultra-Realistic Performance
00
design problem
Warhorse Studios needed to capture over 300 high-fidelity facial scans for the next generation of its epic RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Each character required approximately 40 unique expressions – from subtle grimaces to full dynamic movements – to ensure smooth and believable facial animation throughout the game. The challenge was to combine speed, precision, and flexibility, including seamless online direction and supervision by Warhorse during scanning on our custom-built scanner.
solution
We designed and built a dedicated facial scanning studio, complete with a fully automated pipeline that enabled real-time remote collaboration with Warhorse’s team. Thanks to live previews and selective expression review, the supervisors could evaluate scan quality on the spot, while actors watched their own expressions in real time. After each scanning session, data was automatically processed through our custom scanning pipeline – delivering clean, structured, and production-ready assets with maximum fidelity.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes immersion into 15th-century Bohemia to a whole new level.
With stunning environments, an eye for historical detail, and cutting-edge production values, it’s one of the most anticipated RPG titles in recent years.
We can confirm this first-hand – we’ve played it, and it’s absolutely breathtaking. Cinematic, massive, and technically remarkable.
An epic look into one of the most anticipated RPGs of the decade – with cinematic visuals and emotional performances powered by real facial scans.
Real faces. Real emotions. Real game.
By delivering high-quality scans, we allowed the Warhorse team to focus on fine-tuning gameplay, storytelling, and cinematic scenes.
The result: actor likenesses that are recognizable, expressive, and emotionally engaging.
These faces don’t just look real – they feel real.
