First Full Rig

There is always a first for everything.. In my case this is my first attempt at facial animation. Still crude but I guess it's a start. Fire away your crits

the mushroom is leveling up again...this is one area that i hope i can be able to do in the very distant future.

first test rig

oh no! you're a fast learner...i'm totally clueless about this, but this totally piqued my curiosity.

Hope to see the test animation with voice over...

it's quite easy. modelling the face is the only difficult part.

i think i can post a step by step tutorial ONLY after ive mastered the process.. basics pa lang alam ko eh and im sure mas maraming mas bihasa sa workflow na to.

looks ok na. in my opinion mas mahirap nga mag facial animation pag morph gamit mo since bawat movement kailangan modeled. na try mo na gumamit ng bones?

haven't tried the bones option yet. for morphing i simply made several references to represent each speech and eye movement, tapos un na ang mga morph targets ko. mukhang old school ata ang ginamit ko na method ah.. hehe.

The only bones I know are in the bulalo type so I can't crit much on this; but I gotta say massively huge undertaking prinsipe kabute...

nice ...have you tried LBRUSH - http://www.lbrush.com/3dworld.pdf
i think its quite good pluginns

well actually di pa naman ganun ka old school method ang morphing, kaso konting nalang gumagamit kasi limited yung applications

try mo to, tut ng facial rig dun sa 3d movie na "delgo"

cool, thanks reyknow, these would be of value. im also doing some research on bone rigging at the moment (for max).

in the meantime here's a longer sync exercise

Can't wait to see the whole thing rigged and swinging..he he he

test rig using old bip's

Wow, this must be very fun to make. Nice facial & lip sync animation Sir! Pang music video na!

it is fun but tedious at the same time. rigging is a killer (or perhaps i need to practice more). those finger rigs are a pain :p

hahaha..nagroundhouse kick ba yung character? looks like it....and there's a slow-mo effect.

i'm sure there's more....post away sir...

thanks ed. eto mga snapshots ng set (partial)

there you go again sir....

how i wish i can make one of these....

this is cool!!!....i can't really comment, coz, i have no idea how to model the character.

some snapshots from the PP

ayan na! ayan na!...looks like there's even more to come....

yup. here it goes
