"Realistic" Face Rig #2

0 Comments

 
Here is the animation progress from start to "Finish" on the face animation.
Initially I blocked the the main keyframes, then tackled the breakdowns of the "Miracle", "Sham", "Switch", and "Fool" lines separately breaking down each one in succession. Then after getting some critique, I made some tweaks and broke down the holds and added the major jaw movements.
Next I splined it, cleaned up the graph editor for the neck and head joints. Then after getting some critique, I toned down the accents on "Miracle", "Sham", and "Switch". Finally I added the sync for the lips.
Lastly I did some more polish, toning down the accents even more, and cleaning up the eyebrow motions a bit.
That's it, for this one, the final part will breakdown the lighting and show the final animation. I've had fun with this one, learned a lot about rigging and a TON about the way I perceive motion, I'm comfortable steering away from "Realism" a bit, but I do want to keep working on subtlety, it's been a pain, but I need to keep improving on it.
