Japan-based SoftEther has developed a cool 3D motion-capture figure [JP] to create computer graphics and animations in 3D.

Shockingly, this post is not about Halo 3. Instead, I’d like to bring to your attention a Killzone action figure that pays attention to details. Modeled after the Helghast from the game, this one-of-a-kind model comes from custom crafter Jim Saotome. And in case you were wondering, yes, those eyes light up.
