It's been ages since I posted any progress on Bouncers, so this 1 is massive. I finally got round to trying an idea I had for Lip syncing in the new Bouncers series and here's a demonstration. Those of you who have seen the "Meet the Heavy" video for Team Fortress 2 should get an extra laugh from this.
I never imagined I'd have that kinda control. The facial animation is done in Iclone's Crazytalk, then brought into Motionbuilder. I did a few animations to make sure he wasn't standing still, and perfecto. This is a great improvement from the old method I used when in Quake 2.
And to think I had the idea when waking up one morning.
For anyone wondering why the blog is so sparse: due to an unfortunate event all the old posts are gone. This is technically a new blog. I was able to salvage the html file, so my old article "Machinima's Missing Child" was re-posted. I may bring back other semi important ones later.
