Nice shapes, they seem spot on. Though I'd time the extremes a tad (like 1 frame) earlier, they seem to hit right as the sound is made, which reads as a little late, to me.

Mike, that's unreal!

 

When I think of the gazillions of bones I had in Woozle's face to try and get some movement. Even then I wasn't at all happy with the flexibility. I love the way his whole face moves. Would you mind explaining in a little more detail how you went about doing this? I use your Cog Joints (and TSM) to rig up the rest of the character but faces are so hard....

Hey Peter, thanks for checking it out.

I can understand what you're saying.... I probably won't fuss with the lipsync timing till I hammer out a mouth system I'm happy with.

When I render this final quality, there are some surface issue with the mesh from the distortion boxes....

More test...

Are you going to do the white/black color changing? I'll be interested in seeing how you go about doing that and what it looks like. Also, if it's a time saver, or one of those things that you *think* is gonna save time and... doesn't in any way save any time no how no where... (a few of my ideas end up like that).

Hey Tiffany, thanks for the reply!

As far as the stuff I did with the face... I used distortion boxes.

I basically grouped part of the face, say upper face to one bone as a child of the head.

Then I attached the other part, say lower face to another bone.

Then I made the distortion boxes(the same one for each bone just mentioned) a property of the model.

Whenever I need it I just turn it on.

I wrote the steps on how to this in a question in the main forum about someone havinga problem with distortion boxes messing up actions.

Just take a peek in there.... let me know if you can't find it.
