D-Fly - WIP - 18


D-Fly - WIP - 18, originally uploaded by James D Thompson.

Decided to layout the facial rig like many other rigs ive used before as its very easy to work with and animate :D.

Ive split my blend-shapes into left and right so im able to manipulate them individually. then combined some blend-shapes and jaw rotation into the Lip-sync control.

The lip sync controls works by: Top left = wide + closed, top right = narrow + closed, bottom left = wide + open, bottom right = narrow + open.

On top of all this i might add some small controls on the face that are attached to joints to I can add some more offset in the animation to make it look different :)

This grid like layout is also discussed in the book "stop staring" with scripts to make it but i didn't use them for this as i wanted to make it all myself from scratch for practice :D
