But they basically created a daiigtl pppeut of her, where you can pull on these various strings, and it actually moves her face in ways that are completely consistent with the scans that we took. And, in addition to the coarse-scale geometry, they also used all of that detail to create a set of what are called "displacement maps" that animate as well. These are the dlipemscaent maps here. And you can see those different wlkenris actually show up as she animates.
