digital doubles

Online replica selves

Digital doubles are computer-generated replicas of real people, typically created using 3D scanning, motion capture, and rendering technology.

In film and video games, digital doubles stand in for actors during dangerous stunts, impossible camera angles, or scenes requiring crowds of identical figures.

The technology has advanced to create photorealistic versions of performers, sometimes resurrecting deceased actors or de-aging living ones.

The studio used a digital double for the explosion sequence.
