Unused Atrus performance capture, 1 [miniDV], November 17, 1999
Item
Identifier: CYAN-REALMYST-PRODUCTION.6
Abstract
This video appears to be an unused performance of Rand Miller as Atrus for use in realMyst (identified on the tape as "Myst 3D"). It appears that Cyan planned to record a static video of Rand Miller's face to map onto a 3D model of Atrus. However, the final game uses a traditional full-motion video performance instead.
