This video demonstrates some crazy new software, “MovieReshape”, which uses a combination of motion tracking and shape recognition to map a scalable 3d model against the person in the video. From there, the possibilities are pretty wide open to make the person taller, shorter, or fuller in the muscles, breasts, etc.
