Lip Sync Update
This is a link to my progress so far on the lip sync
animation.
Over the last few days I have been working more on this lip
syncing animation. I should note that I “wasted” a few hours yesterday trying
to get image planes working in Maya
to allow me to import my reference footage directly onto them. I got close but
not close enough…
Anyway, I have finished working on the mouth for today but I
think it could still do with a little bit more tweaking to get the timing just
right. I also think that when I start animating the body, I will have to adjust
the mouth accordingly to fit with it, but I anticipate that won’t be too
much of a struggle.
Most of the videos on lip syncing in 3D animation start off
with the body then the head then finishes on the mouth/face but I genuinely
have found it more intuitive to start with the mouth and then work out from
there. This is only my first lip sync so I could find that is doesn’t work but
because it felt intuitive to me I thought that I should try it that way first
to see if it would work. Even if the professionals are right in doing the body
first I still feel it is important for me to learn myself through practice. If
I am wrong in doing the mouth first, then it will surely come through in the quality
of my work and will teach me for next time.
Summary:
This animation still needs facial animation as well as body
animation to finish it. Only then can I give it a proper analysis. That should be close to complete by the end of the week.
