Exclusive TrailblaXR Interview: Inside High-Fidelity Facial Animation and Character Performance
From Wētā FX and Framestore to fast-moving production pipelines, Katie Naeher Kaliniak's work focuses on capturing nuance — translating subtle expression and intent into believable, high-fidelity performance. Now a Senior 3D Animator, she combines artistic sensitivity with technical precision, crafting characters that not only look convincing but feel authentic, whether on screen or in-engine.
I'm still alive... and there's an update on the AR|X project. But one thing I can tell you guys, I already mentioned that I'm not exactly the sculptor in front of the Lord and so it may look to you like not much has happened here but actually I had medium sized problems with my female character of which I had to create two versions. The rigging and positioning was comparatively easy.

**AR|X Update 03**
Basically nothing special yet, but for me it is, as I'm not exactly a master sculptor. But after three attempts, I'm happy with it for the time being. There are still mechanical parts to be added, but I'm modeling them step by step.
