Toon Face animation with morph carrara 5 - Polyloop

moxstudios · 13th November 2005, 22:06

Here its my first facial animation done in carara 5 standar. I didit only to learn some of the new features.

I model the character in hexagon and some of the expresion and all the animation in carrara 5 standar

Its closer to pixar (yeah right)

it not so bad

I do the animation without any reference or mirror, Next time i use a video for reference. The proccess in the facial expresion in hexagon was very easy with the symetrical feature. I figureout that the soft selection in carrara 5 dont work with the morphs ( Its a bug maybe) any way enjoy.

Here its the video

wow , good, we have to watchout for you. great work, your inspiring me. Just a question, did you put the teeth in and kept the mouth open when you modeled? Then in the process of animation you opened the lips and there was the teeth?

moxstudios · 14th November 2005, 00:45

Thanks for the comments Guys, behzad, I made the model with the open mouth and make the teeth a part, but a combine with the face in hexagon, and in the process of animation I close the mounth and move and rotate the teeth all in hexagon and save the model as .obj. when i need to modify th mouth I hiden the teeth faces in hexagon.
I hope you undestand :D

moxstudios · 14th November 2005, 02:45

Great work. Share some details on the experience? Some screencaptures? List of morph targets?

Very nice work and is that SSS that I see on the ears? The lighting and everything is very nice.
Did you report your softselect bug to Eovia?
Thanks

kewl work..

thierry · 14th November 2005, 23:50

Hello and thank's for this splendid exemple !
I've a few questions ???
How many target did you used ?
Dou you believe that your video, as exemple, is a real help for time, timing or realism... all ?
How many time did you passed on this exemple and for the render !

That's all hé hé !
Thank's a lot

Waow ! I'm really impressed. Very nice work. Congratulation

moxstudios · 15th November 2005, 04:19

I use 8 morph targets
4 for the mouth and 4 for the eyes and eyebrows

(Dou you believe that your video, as exemple, is a real help for time, timing or realism... all ?) I think I dont undestand this one.

I spend hour and half in the model, 4 or 5 hours i think learning the proces of targets doing the face expresions and riging with the bones. 1 hour of making the sss shader and lights looks nice. The animation process was a little hard because I dont get realtime preview of the final result of the animation wen smoth is turn on, so I need to make a draft rendering every time I modify keyframes.

The renderin was fast only have faster antialiasing because was only a test, took about 1 hour of rendering i think.

Nichod · 15th November 2005, 05:32

Moxstudios-

Did you get issues with scaling and the eyes. Or did you end up using a combination of morph targets to get the result you were looking for? Morph targets can be a bit picky since they take the shortest route to get the required result.

crazy wabbit · 15th November 2005, 05:47

thierry your a good dancer.

moxstudios · 15th November 2005, 14:18

Nichod- I get weird stuff only when you try to combine some morph, but you need to slide down one a little to apply other morph, any way I make a short screen capture for you to see the proyect.
