3DArtZ Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hey guys, so, now onto the mouth of this character... I'm trying to see what might be a cool/easy way to handle this guys mouth. I'm thinking adding a property to change the color of the mouth from white to black when appropirate to simulate when teeth should show and not... this sample would be.... obviously with teeth:) http://www.vrcops.com/vids/SmileA.mov what do you think?

brainmuffin Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 With such a simple mouth he should be easy to lipsynch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dearmad Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I like it- it reads as teeth to me- you could add a sparkle or two too! Now I wonder how black would read in comparison. Also, the transition from black to white might seem like a flashing light without the white coming in from top and bottom, as if it were teeth. At least when I imagine it happening, that's what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Like the look and flexibility of the model. I'm assuming you haven't animated the eyes yet, because they really just kind of stare which is disconcering. I agree with the posibility of the flashing from white to black or vice versa. Would you be willing to share a shaded wire of the hands? They are just excellent and I would love to learn from them. Several views if I may be so bold as to ask! Thanks, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DArtZ Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Hey guys, thanks for reply! Dearmad and Fishman, I definately feel like something won't look right about blasting the mouth to white and black... but I've made a test to check it out. It does appear to flash, But I think, maybe it's because the lips don't close at the end. I'm gonna try a few more poses but here is the link as is now... White/Black flash http://www.vrcops.com/vids/SmileB.mov Just Black http://www.vrcops.com/vids/SmileC.mov Oh and yes, no eye work done yet...

Fishman Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I kinda like the all black the best. It depends on what you are going for, but the mouth seems to fit the style a little better, draws less attention to the mouth. Wonderful muscle action by the way!

3DArtZ Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 Hey Scott, yeah I see what you're saying.... but then when I see that huge smile with the white, I like that one all of a sudden. Then I see how it fades out and I change my mind again. I have to see what the white would look like if he were talking with lip shapes. Also, see about trying out making a black line inbetween to signify bottom and top teeth. I'll see about posting a wireframe of the hands tomorrow.
