Take-Two has bought Dynamixyz.
The gaming giant - which owns the likes of Rockstar and 2K - has acquired the "video-based facial animation services" company which has contributed to the likes of 'Red Dead Redemption 2', 'NBA 2K21', 'Avengers: Endgame' and more.
The firm owns "leading-edge, proprietary motion capture, facial-analysis, and full 3D processing tools and technology", which covers CG, machine-learning and computer vision.
Take-Two boss Michael Worosz said: "Dynamixyz's revolutionary facial analysis technology and services is a highly complementary and strategic addition to Take-Two's world-class publishing and development structure.
"[CEO Gaspard Breton] and the visionary team at Dynamixyz have a well-earned reputation for providing the widest and smartest range of facial motion capture solutions to the entertainment industry, and their work has captivated millions of people around the world from the box office to the living room.
"We're thrilled to have them join our team, incorporate their proprietary technologies and creative wonder into our future offerings, and to continue to evolve their capabilities and solutions."
And Breton added: "Having worked with Rockstar Games and 2K, we know firsthand Take-Two's commitment to creative excellence and welcome the opportunity to leverage our tools and technology to help them to achieve that goal and to captivate and engage audiences further."
