mtpeak2 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Mark asked me if I was interested in rigging his characters faces. Of course I said yes and we worked out a little deal. It gave me a reason to complete the face rig for the 2008 rig I was working on. I'm actually having fun installing the rig. So far it has been pretty easy to install. On these characters I've only had to translate and scale 1 bone to position the rig. I'm working on my third character with 2 more to go. I'll post some animation tests using the modified A:M Track action file I used in the 2008 rig thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Here's the first test render of the Story Teller. This animation uses the A:M Track action file with added movement for the controls in the action, plus overlapping action from the controls in the chor.

mtpeak2 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Thanks Mark. Hopefully the rig will do the job for you. Here's the same action using Flemm, slightly modified in the chor using the controls. Does anyone have any A:M Track action files they would like to share, with sound?

Animus Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 They look great! Both the face rig possbilities and the characters. I don't like much doing lipsync, this is going to be of great help. I look forward to see more! Michel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks guys. Here's an update to Sneeze. His glasses are fully incorporated into the rig and fully automated with expressions. So, whether it's A:M Track, main controls or the split controls, the glasses will respond accordingly. Sneeze.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtpeak2 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks Martin. I asked if anyone was willing to share an A:M Track action file with sound, but noone has posted anything yet. I don't have A:M Track, yet. And I don't do lipsync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
