Summary

Indi Hartwell described the process of being scanned for a WWE video game, including how facial expression capture and makeup application are handled.

Hartwell said women begin the scan without makeup, copy a sequence of facial expressions shown on an iPad, then return after makeup is done for additional camera capture.

She said the makeup is then applied across the expressions captured during the scan process.

The source text also notes Hartwell is currently on the TNA roster, has appeared in WWE 2K games, and has recently been scanned for figure releases.

Indi Hartwell breakdown highlights the technical detail behind WWE game character realism

Indi Hartwell's comments show how WWE game scans rely on staged expression capture before and after makeup, because the process maps the same performer across multiple facial states rather than a single static look.

Her explanation also underscores why wrestler likeness in WWE games can feel more accurate over time, with dedicated passes for expression data and final makeup presentation.

Quote from Indi Hartwell

“The video game, you’re in a trailer and you’re sitting in a chair and then… the girls have no makeup on. Do you know about this? So like girls have no makeup on at first and then there’s just like a circle of cameras around you and there’s an iPad with Drake on it and Drake, like Drake the rapper. He’s making faces and you’ve got to copy the faces that he’s doing. So he’s like (makes angry face and smiles) like that and then you go get your makeup done and then you come back to the trailer and then there’s a camera up there, a camera there, a camera there and you just look like that, that and that. (moves head) Then they put your makeup onto all the expressions that you did.”
